289 Self-Awareness (And Why People With ADHD Suck At It)
Self-awareness is one of our deficient executive functioning skills and it can REALLY hold us ADHDers back if we're not careful.
Feel like you make the same mistakes over and over? That's in part because of lack of self-awareness. Feel like you don't know yourself, who you are, and what you want? Yeah, that's because your self-awareness isn't great.
In this episode, my client Joe Corpus is here to discuss his path to self-awareness and the crucial role that acceptance played in the process.
Joe was diagnosed with ADHD as a child but told by his mother that he was "fine" and "didn't need medication." What ensued was decades of feeling disconnected from others, but mostly disconnected from himself.
Joe shares his journey of developing self-awareness and how this can only be done with a hefty dose of self-acceptance. And the pathway? Well, you may not like it (I sure don't!): GRIEF.
We talk about it all...you're going to feel so nurtured by this episode, I just know it.
Joe Corpus is from Houston Texas. He owns a small, full-service gardening company dedicated to the stewardship of a limited number of high-end residential properties. Joe has been a part of FOCUSED for 10 months. He was diagnosed with ADHD approximately two years before the pandemic.
