Welcome to Ambitious ADHD, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of ADHD, embracing all the challenges and victories along the way. Today's episode is a heartfelt exploration of a topic that touches us all: grief. Join us as we share our personal journeys through loss and uncover how ADHD shapes our unique experiences of mourning.
In this Episode, you'll discover:
- The intersection of ADHD and Grief: How our ADHD brains process the intense emotions that accompany loss differently.
- Emotional flooding: We delve into the concept of 'flooding'—when overwhelming emotions take over—and its profound impact on those with ADHD during times of grief.
- Personal stories of loss: Your hosts share their own stories of loss, offering a window into the deeply personal side of grief through an ADHD lens.
- ADHD strengths in times of crisis: A look at why people with ADHD often excel in crisis situations and how this can affect the grieving process, sometimes delaying it.
