BONUS: ADHD Self Talk- How to Stop Being So Hard on Yourself

In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie reflect on Megan Nicola’s conversation about the inner voice that shapes so much of life with ADHD. They dig into why self talk can become so harsh, how early experiences and school labels settle into the stories we tell ourselves, and why so many ADHDers learn to motivate through pressure rather than kindness.Katie opens up about the words she absorbed from childhood reports and how they still colour her self esteem decades later, while Sam explores the moment he realised his own internal dialogue had crossed from unhelpful into harmful. Together they look at why it is so difficult to be gentle with ourselves even after diagnosis, and what it really means to notice shame, pause, and get curious instead of spiralling.It is a warm, clear look at how the voice in your head gets so loud with ADHD, and what it takes to start replacing old labels with something gentler and more truthful.New episodes of You're Wrong About ADHD are available every Wednesday and Friday.
