In this episode of Everyday Therapy, hosts Brett Cushing, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Dr. Karin Ryan, Licensed Psychologist, break down what ADHD really is (and what it isn’t). They also explore how brain differences, neurotransmitters, and executive functioning affect focus, follow-through, and emotions, and they share realistic strategies for living well with ADHD.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, wonder if you might have ADHD, or love someone who does, this conversation offers insight, validation, and tools you can start using today.

Tune in to Discover:

• What ADHD really means beyond the stereotypes
• The neurological science behind attention, motivation, and impulse control
• How ADHD presents differently in men, women, and children

• How medication, routines, and practical coping skills can make a difference
• Tips for managing focus, time, and distractions (plus: the “body doubling” technique)
