April 04, 2024 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MBThis week, Dr. Dodge Rea rejoins us to explore the concept of Positive Affect Tolerance—the upper limit of how good we allow ourselves to feel before self-sabotage kicks in. Drawing from his integrative approach blending traditional psychology with ancient wisdom, Dr. Rea illuminates how this little-known phenomenon may be impacting those with ADHD far more than we realize. The conversation delves into the complex interplay between our psychological baggage and neurological wiring....

The podcast's success has also led to the growth of th...
The Invisible Tightrope: Navigating Parent/Caregiver-Child Relationships with ADHD
March 14, 2024 10:00 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MBAs we explore the intricate dance between parents, caregivers, and their children, the presence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can profoundly influence this delicate balance. Parents with ADHD may find solace in shared struggles with their ADHD children, while facing frustration when their symptoms lead to setbacks with neurotypical children. On the other hand, parents without ADHD may struggle to understand the challenges their ADHD child faces, leading to a cyc...

March 07, 2024 11:00 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBIn this week's episode of The ADHD Podcast, hosts Pete Wright and Nikki Kinzer explore the nuances of empathy for those with ADHD. Their guest, Dr. Tamara Rosier, recently presented on "The Unexpected Downside of Empathy" at the 2023 International ADHD Conference. Dr. Rosier, founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, explains that while empathy is often seen as a virtue, ADHDers may experience it in a more complicated way. Dr. Rosier outlines three main types of empathy: emotion...
Gaslighting & ADHD
February 29, 2024 11:00 - 34 minutes - 32.5 MBThe popular 1944 film Gaslight brought the insidious behavior known as "gaslighting" into the public consciousness. But what exactly is gaslighting, and what does it have to do with ADHD? We explore this in today's episode of Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast. Dr. Deborah Vinall, author of the book Gaslighting: A Step-By-Step Recovery Guide, describes gaslighting as a pattern of behavior where one person systematically undermines another, typically as a means of gaining control. It ...
ADHD Never Used to Be This Hard
February 22, 2024 11:00 - 36 minutes - 34 MBDo you remember when you were young and carefree, coasting through school assignments at the last minute? Or social engagements flowing effortlessly from one to the next? As an adult with ADHD, those days may feel like a distant memory. Suddenly, responsibilities pile up, work seems endless, and relationships require much more attention. What changed? In this episode, we explore why ADHD symptoms often worsen from childhood to adulthood. Turns out, the structured school environment...
Time Shielding, the Values Calendar, and the Schedule Saboteur
February 15, 2024 11:00 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBWe're eager to please, but at what cost? For people with ADHD, saying yes to requests from others often means sabotaging our own priorities. Urgency provides a dopamine hit; the instructions are clear. Best of all, we aren't fully responsible for the outcome. But every time we dodge our obligations to take on extra, we chip away at our future. Before automatically agreeing to favors, pause and examine your motives. Are you truly available or just procrastinating? Will you have to ...
Everything’s On Fire. Now What?
February 08, 2024 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBWhen everything is on fire, how do you escape the flames? For people with ADHD, overwhelm can consume our days in a blazing mess of forgotten tasks, ignored priorities, and competing demands. Like a wildfire swallowing the horizon, the urgent eclipses the important until catastrophe looms. Fortunately, firefighters don't panic in the face of infernos. They methodically suppress the flames by targeting fuels one at a time. We can borrow their approach. Tackle the smallest task first ...
The ADHD Tax
February 01, 2024 11:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBThe ADHD Tax is real—and it's costly. A recent poll found over half of people with ADHD lose over $1000 a year to fees, fines, and forgetfulness. We call them ADHD Taxes: late bill payments, expired food, unpaid subscriptions. Benjamin Franklin said nothing is certain except death and taxes, but ADHD Taxes are optional. With planning and habits, we can eliminate these penalties that drain our time, money, and self-esteem. ADHD may be lifelong, but the taxes don't have to be. Learn t...
Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable
January 25, 2024 11:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBThis week on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki explore what it means to be uncomfortable and why that's not always a bad thing. The inspiration for this topic came from Melissa reflecting on a step in the GPS process where members review past experiences with strategies and tools from the previous week. She wondered whether it was the tool/strategy that wasn't working or if it just felt uncomfortable because it was new. Melissa asked if we're giving up too quickly o...

January 18, 2024 11:00 - 35 minutes - 33.4 MBIn "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking," you're introduced to the unconventional notion that the pursuit of happiness might actually lie down a 'negative path.' Oliver Burkeman invites you to consider embracing life's uncertainties and insecurities, challenging the prevalent culture of positive thinking. Overly optimistic mindsets, he argues, can lead to a denial of reality and set you up for greater disappointment. The book delves into the idea of ...
Four Thousand ADHD Weeks • A Book Talk Episode!
January 11, 2024 11:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBIn his provocative book Four Thousand Weeks, author Oliver Burkeman confronts our culture's obsession with productivity and efficiency. He makes the case that with a limited lifespan of around 4,000 weeks, our pursuit of packed schedules and perfect work-life balance is ultimately futile. Burkeman urges us to embrace the unchangeable reality that our time is finite. Only by accepting our human limitations, he argues, can we focus on what matters most and live with intention. Rather...
ADHD and Our Mental Models for Making Decisions
January 04, 2024 11:00 - 46 minutes - 43.3 MBIt's season 28 and we're kicking it off with a look at how we make decisions. See, we all have models through which we see the choices before us. We decided to start this series with a look at some of the acknowledged mental models around decision-making to help us create a vernacular we can use to discuss how our brains are impacted by choices in our lives and our ADHD. Mental models are bite-sized, condensed views that help us understand ourselves and the world around us. We expl...

How do you plan to plan? Struggling with personal deadlines? What if you’re struggling to make plans more than a few weeks ahead of time? How do you plan for things that don't have concrete goals?

“Finished, For Now”: Planning, Overwhelm, and Motivation
November 30, 2023 11:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBPete’s in the hot seat this week as Nikki walks through a listener question of the motivational variety. For reference, here it is: “When we have a plan of quadrant two tasks, important but not urgent, it is impossible to focus on those at all if there are ANY quadrant one tasks... urgent and important... unresolved. What’s interesting is that you might think, sure ... do those. They’re urgent and important. But the problem is that maybe you’ve done your part on them. You’re waiti...
Why Planning Systems Fail
November 23, 2023 11:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBOn this week’s show, Pete and Nikki break down how to create and implement planning systems that work with the ADHD brain. “There is not a perfect calendar, planner or task manager for ADHD,” notes Nikki. “What matters is that you build trust and consistency with your chosen tools.” They start by addressing common misconceptions about finding the “right” organizational system. As Nikki explains, no one tool determines success - only your willingness to use it consistently builds ...

On Optimism and Our ADHD
November 02, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBThe world can be a tough place. We know that our ADHD doesn't make that any easier.

We’ll talk about the things that get in the way of our efforts to feel optimistic like emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitivity, an impulsivity. The thing is, in the face of all th...

Normal Is ...
October 12, 2023 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWe come to you with a pivot today and a follow-up discussion to last week's conversation on ADHD stigma. What is normal? Why is it such a charged word?

He started searching online for recommendations and communities that could provide support but found very little that resonated with his needs and experience ...
“I don’t wanna” is not an ADHD strategy
September 28, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBThis week, we delve into the complex issue of emotional dysregulation, a common but often misunderstood symptom of ADHD. Emotional dysregulation refers to an impairment or inability to regulate feelings, which can lead to an overreaction to minor setbacks or challenges. This issue is deeply rooted in the science of emotion regulation. And it's central to the sabotage we use on ourselves when we use "I don't wanna" as a strategy for productivity. To better understand this, we refer...
A Member Snippet: “How do you help others at transitions when you suck at it?”
September 21, 2023 10:00 - 14 minutes - 13.5 MBWe had something of a scheduling snafu this week and our guests didn’t show! Don’t worry, they’ll be back. Bun in the mean time, Nikki and Pete carried on an impromptu AMA-QA show with members in the live chat and we decided to share a piece of it with you. The question that sparks the answer is, “how do you help others with transitions when you suck at them yourself?” Great question, and that gets us talking all about Bandura’s thoughts on self-efficacy, how pride can help you le...

Transitions Treats and Dopamine Redirection with ADHD
September 07, 2023 10:00 - 25 minutes - 24.2 MBIn this episode, we're shifting gears from our prior focus on games to delve into the world of transitions, particularly from the perspective of individuals with ADHD.

Despite their seemingly minor nature, these tr...
Embracing Failure as a Practice with ADHD
August 31, 2023 10:00 - 26 minutes - 25.1 MBThis week we're diving into the Paradox of Failure. It's something game designer Jesper Juul came up with, and it's all about how gamers are weirdly drawn to the very thing we're trying to avoid: failure. Even when a game is exasperating, we just keep going back for more. It's all part of this cycle Juul talks about, where we set a goal, totally flub it, and then scramble to find a solution. It's a crazy ride, but it helps us grow and keeps us from throwing in the towel. Dr. Carol ...

Turning ADHD Daily Life into a Game Worth Playing
August 03, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.2 MBLiving with ADHD often feels like a losing battle. Our brains desperately need dopamine to stay focused, but no matter how hard we try, there's never enough. Chores pile up, tasks go unfinished, and frustration mounts.

In games, we learn without fear. We explore new worlds, defeat drag...

Breaking out of the 'What Do You Do?' Box
May 18, 2023 10:00 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBThis week, we explore the age-old question, "What do you do?" and the anxiety that it can cause. What started with Nikki doing her civic duty as a potential member on a jury leads us to discuss how this question can lead to us feeling boxed in, forced to express our identity through a job title. How do you answer this question differently, by sharing hobbies or passions that we enjoy, or aspects of our job that we find meaningful? These alternative answers can lead to more engagin...

The conversation starts with a walkthrough of concepts from The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, as well as Neff's TEDxTalk, "The Space Between Sel...
