Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I discuss the pervasive negative self-talk among ADHDers. I explore the reasons behind this, and share how it stems from a dysregulated state and serves as a misguided defense mechanism. I provide practical strategies for you to shift your mindset from negative self-talk to a more neutral perspective, encouraging self-compassion and reflection on mistakes without harsh judgment. The conversation highlights the importance of awareness and the need to create a positive mindset to improve overall well-being and reduce ADHD symptoms.

Takeaways

  • Most ADHDers experience a lot of negative self-talk.
  • Negative self-talk serves as a misguided motivator.
  • You are safe without negative self-talk.
  • Shifting to neutral thinking can help reduce self-criticism.
  • Curiosity about mistakes leads to better understanding.
  • You deserve to live a life that's enjoyable and easier.
  • Negative self-talk hinders personal growth and happiness.
