Authentically ADHD with Carmen

Dopamine Dilemma: Understanding the ADHD Reward System

17 May 2025

Description

In this episode we talk about, this vicious cycle of avoidance, guilt, and stress is not your fault — it’s rooted in the neurobiology of ADHD. But understanding this gives us the power to break the cycle. We don’t have to rely on guilt or punishment to motivate ourselves. Instead, we can focus on what works for our unique brain wiring: creating environments that are stimulating, breaking tasks into small chunks, and using rewards to trigger dopamine. Let’s stop the self-blame and start embracing strategies that actually work for us. Stay tuned for more tips on how to hack your brain’s reward system!Follow me:Linktree:https://linktr.ee/carmen_iraceJoin Focused: https://ihaveadhdllc.ontralink.com/t?orid=29951&opid=1Show Notes: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkhRDDp_g/n_wEu8tOjZtTxJfnO_i6Zw/view?utm_content=DAGkhRDDp_g&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h285a2c67ef Get full access to carmen_authenticallyadhd at carmenauthenticallyadhd.substack.com/subscribe
