Join us for a brief season intermission, and a replay of a favourite solo episode from Season One! In today’s replay solo episode, I’m addressing common questions, so important to make visible in the pursuit of change in ADHD life with a psychotherapist. Today, I’m talking about the importance of the ‘ADHD lens’ when we are both engaging in therapy, in coaching and most importantly, in the task of knowing ourselves more completely. We have to know ourselves before we can self-advocate, which comes before we can talk about what’s important to us, why we do the things we do, and to hopefully end up feeling more connected with our loved ones. I cover: What does the ‘adaption’ a therapist needs to make for a client with ADHD look like? Why do people with ADHD struggle with time? Why is time management for ADHD brains different from the ‘typicals? What is the sweet spot in Christina’s Boredom/Overwhelm Venn Diagram?

Tinnitus affects roughly 10% of the general population, but in the music industry that number is closer to 40-50%. In the ever evolving Venn diagram of ADHD and other health conditions, I couldn’t help but notice the overlap between the ADHD creative types, and musicians with ADHD who have progressive hearing loss as they get older. One of the most challenging consequences of hearing loss or damage over time is tinnitus . In today’s episode, I'm talking to author Glenn Schweitzer , who wrote Rewiring Tinnitus , a book about how to retrain your brain to cope with this unrelenting condition, and the intersections of self-advocacy in our medical systems, in both of our worlds. Glenn and I cover: The vicious cycle of anxiety and powerlessness in tinnitus, The traumatizing long term effects of experiences in our medical systems, Why understanding Tinnitus as a stress disorder is helpful, (not unlike PTSD), The powerful things tinnitus sufferers can do to regain control of their lives, and The helpful roles loved ones can play they might not be aware of.

In today’s episode, I'm breaking down the mystery behind the couples that we couple therapists were SO sure would make it, but for some reason, they didn’t. Was the mystery in fact that the couple modality was not neurodivergent-affirming? Did we miss a diagnosis? In couple therapy today, there are a few well described and successful approaches, like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method or Relational Theories. Couples can find some initial success with these, and then there are some couples who continue to struggle, despite both partners having the best intentions. Is your partner (or you) behaving the way they are in the relationship because they are choosing to do so, despite its effect on you? Or are they committed to the relationship, yet despite all their best efforts, they can’t seem to get it together and do not know why . Any of the traditional couples therapy approaches can be used when trying to discern the answer to that question, as long as the therapist knows that is the question they should be probing .

I cover: What is the ‘ ADHD-adaption ’ a therapist needs to make for a client with ADHD? Why do people with ADHD struggle with time ?

The Christina Crowe Podcast: Making the invisible VISIBLE
EVERYONE deserves access to high quality, accurate mental health information. On this podcast, as your host, Registered Psychotherapist Christina Crowe, I'm making it my job to connect some mental health dots - making invisible things visible . In this Episode 0, I share a bit of Why this podcast, and Why now. This show is going to make mental health information more accessible, so you can go to your trusted health care partner and advocate for yourself with a clearer sense of the kinds of conversations you can have. Please join me for Season One , where I'm bringing the people I turn to for support, mentorship and inspiration when it comes to the every day work of more balanced mental health.
