ADHD and Abandonment
The Fear Less Now
You know how ADHD + abandonment wounds mix? It’s rocket fuel for pain. Rejection hits harder. Silence feels like danger. One “read” text and you’re spiraling for days. But what if no one’s actually abandoning you? What if it’s just fast thought + old feelings moving through? In this episode, we look at where that pain _really_ comes from… And how presence heals what time never could. This changed everything for me. It can for you too.

What if we are not flawed or broken at all? What if the nature of who we are is ok? What if we are not our psychology?
There are ways of looking at how we see the world and how we see ourselves without having to change anything. What if I told you that we are not our thoughts, feeling, and behaviors? What if I told you that the traditional way of looking at human psychology is not only backwards but wrong? What if I told you that there is a fearless resilience in every one of you listening right now? That inner resilience and wellbeing is our natural default state. Pre-installed on every human being. This new paradigm called the inside-out understanding (also known as the three principles) shows us that our anxieties, fears, and worry are all made up. Innocently made up by a perfectly imperfect supercomputer called your brain.
Yet societal conditioning makes us feel there is something wrong with us when our thinking sometimes goes to the dark side of the force.
