Episode 382

Tired of ADHD strategies that don’t work? Here’s what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____In part one, we talked about her story. In this episode, we go deeper into what shame actually is. She explains that shame is not internal. It is a social emotion that forms when we feel like we have violated someone else’s standard, and for many ADHD women, that correction starts early and happens often.That matters because ADHD creates what she calls the perfect storm. A sensitive nervous system, frequent correction, and social exclusion all combine over time, shaping how we interpret ourselves and others. Without understanding what is happening, those moments do not just pass. They become identity.In this episode, we talk about the difference between shame and guilt, why ADHD makes you more vulnerable to shame, and how rejection sensitive dysphoria is actually a trauma response. We also get into neuroception, what your body is scanning for at all times, and why social media can trigger the shame reflex even when nothing is actually wrong.If you have ever wondered why your reactions feel so intense or why you keep replaying social moments long after they happen, this episode will help you understand what is happening in your body and not just your mind.Resources: Website: https://www.drshawnhorn.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drshawnhorn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drshawnhorn YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drshawnhorn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-shawn-horn-2934347 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
