Your brain is not broken-Understanding your ADHD brain

Your brain is not broken-Understanding your ADHD brain

The topic of this podcast is about the feelings many with ADHD feel about having a different brain. Many with ADHD go as far as to feel that their brain is broken. That's what many say to themselves.

Tamara Rosier, Ph.D., is the founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan and the author of the book, Your Brain's Not Broken. The book has received much praise from many in the ADHD community.

Tamara wants people to understand that ADHD is just a part of you and does not define you.

Dave asks Tamara why many people with ADHD feel their brain is broken. They ask questions such as "Why am I like this? Or why do have this brain?" "Why can't I be normal?" These are common messages we feed ourselves as individuals with ADHD. It's not uncommon and the frustration that comes with having ADHD can feed this.

By the same token, Dave asks Tamara why many with ADHD have a default negative type of thinking? For example, "I have ADHD so I can't do that." she discusses what those of us can do to begin to change our negative way of thinking.

Tamara also spends an entire chapter in her new book on setting boundaries. It's an essential part of managing your life whether you have ADHD or not. But even more important if you're an adult with ADHD. She explains why.

In chapter 12 of her book, Tamara lays out practical ways to manage and thrive with ADHD. She discusses these briefly and tells people why it's important to be practical. Building a solid foundation for managing your ADHD is one of the most important things you can do.
