More and more, I seem to see so many things through the lens of self-regulation, this ability to sort of decide what's important to us, know what's important to us and manage ourselves along the way to kind of get there to realize like: oh, you know, here's what's going on inside me.
Ever wonder what it’s like to navigate life with ADHD as an adult? In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Eric Tivers, a licensed clinical social worker and renowned ADHD expert. Tivers, who also hosts the podcast 'ADHD reWired', brings his wealth of experience to the table, offering practical advice and insights that can benefit anyone, whether they have ADHD or not.
Tivers delves into the common challenges faced by adults with ADHD, such as impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention. He breaks down the diagnostic criteria and discusses how brain scans debunk the myth that people with ADHD are lazy. Instead, he highlights how interest can drive hyper-focus and exceptional performance in those with ADHD. One of the standout moments in the episode is Tivers' take on medication.
He tackles the stigma head-on, arguing that medication can be a crucial tool for managing symptoms and should not be seen as a sign of weakness. His candid discussion offers a refreshing perspective on this often-misunderstood topic. Throughout the conversation, Tivers emphasizes the importance of systems and structures in managing ADHD. From accountability partners to mindfulness practices, he shares a variety of strategies that can help individuals stay organized and focused.
His advice is not just for those with ADHD; anyone looking to improve their self-regulation and productivity will find valuable takeaways. Zimmer and Tivers’ conversation is both eye-opening and inspiring. It sheds light on the lived experience of adults with ADHD while offering actionable advice for anyone looking to enhance their daily life. Tune in to this episode of 'The One You Feed' for a transformative discussion that goes beyond the surface of ADHD.
