053: From Challenges to Triumphs - Laurie Singer's ADHD Story

In this episode of the ADHD Goals podcast, the host introduces Laurie Singer, a licensed psychotherapist, behaviour analyst, and author of 'You're Not Crazy, Living with Anxiety, Obsessions and Fetishes.' Laurie shares her personal journey with ADHD, which was unrecognised during her school years, causing challenges like low self-esteem and academic struggles. It was not until later in life, when kindly prompted by a colleague, that she realised she had ADHD. Laurie explains how engaging in sports helped structure her life, leading to her academic and professional success. The episode delves into Laurie’s experiences with ADHD, her methods for managing symptoms, and the importance of planning and setting goals. Laurie touches on the impact ADHD can have on relationships and how she uses cognitive behavioural and environmental strategies to help clients. The conversation explores the interplay between ADHD and other conditions like OCD and how they can manifest in obsessive behaviours. This engaging discussion sheds light on how to positively channel ADHD characteristics and emphasises the necessity for personal awareness and strategic planning.
