Podcasts about hyperfixation

Hey Team! This week I'm talking with H.H. Rune, a Pacific Northwest-based author whose writing explores neurodivergence, identity, and rediscovering meaning in everyday life. Rune was diagnosed with ADHD at 52 after decades of feeling like she was just "bad at life"—something I know I've felt a lot of in my own journey. In our conversation today, we talk through the emotional processing of a late diagnosis—Rune describes it as going through the five stages of grief—and how she's reshaped her relationship with herself, her work, and the people around her. Rune also shares the evolution of her long-running book series and how ADHD both challenged and fueled her creative process. Listen to the Climbing the Walls podcast here! If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/225 YouTube Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. Avoid relying on memory, especially for creative ideas, and lean on tools like reminders, email, and structure to back up your attention. Don't trust your brain to remember and instead trust the systems you've set up. 2. Try celebrating your ADHD curiosity. Instead of shaming yourself for going down “random” thought paths, reframe your curiosity as a gift and use humor to engage others. 3. Getting a late diagnosis can require a lot of emotional processing. Rune describes going through the five stages of grief post-diagnosis, acknowledging that the loss of a "life that could have been" is real and valid.

EP. 211: In this episode, I'm sitting down with UK-based women's health practitioner Adele Winslett to talk about the intersection of ADHD, neurodivergence, and the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause. It's a raw, honest conversation about what happens when estrogen dips and the brain fog sets in and why you're absolutely not alone. We also explore how midlife can unmask long-standing ADHD and neurodivergent traits that were once manageable and how this shift can feel both disorienting and illuminating. If you've been silently struggling or questioning what's going on with your mind and body, this episode is a powerful reminder that there's clarity and support on the other side. Topics Discussed:  Can perimenopause make ADHD symptoms worse? What are the signs of ADHD in women over 40? How does estrogen affect brain function and focus? Is brain fog during menopause linked to neurodivergence? What happens when ADHD and hormone changes collide in midlife Sponsored By: Nutrisense | Head over to ⁠nutrisense.io/drtyna ⁠to get 30% off your first order BIOptimizers | Go to ⁠bioptimizers.com/tyna⁠ to order MassZymes now and use code TYNA10 Manukora | Head to ⁠manukora.com/DRTYNA⁠ to get $25 off the Starter Kit, which comes with an MGO 850+ Manuka Honey jar Timeline | Timeline is offering 10% off your order of Mitopure ⁠Go to timeline.com/drtyna.⁠ Relax Tonic | Go to ⁠https://store.drtyna.com/products/relaxtonic⁠ and use code and use DRTYNASHOW Puori | Go to ⁠Puori.com/drtyna⁠ and use code DRTYNA to get 20% off On This Episode We Cover:  00:00:00 - Introduction  00:04:38 – Adele's Background 00:07:22 – Perimenopause & Neurodivergence  00:12:10 – Dr. Tyna on Estrogen Dominance 00:14:56 – Understanding Labs in Perimenopause 00:21:42 – Key Symptoms of Neurodivergence  00:26:24 – Neurodivergence in Later Life 00:32:32 – The Impact of Self-Abandonment 00:33:48 – Unmasking Neurodivergence 00:36:22 – Medications: Adderall & Alternatives 00:40:28 – Hormonal Shifts & Changing Needs 00:43:14 – GLP1s & Dopamine: What You Need to Know 00:47:44 – Brain Noise, Hyperfixation & RSD in ADHD 00:51:53 – Effective Sleep Strategies 00:53:58 – Letting Go of Outdated Beliefs 00:56:05 – Exercise & Strategies for Managing Symptoms 00:59:34 – Embracing Your Uniqueness 01:03:28 – Understanding Your Brain's Needs 01:07:33 – Overcoming People-Pleasing & Setting Boundaries 01:13:13 - Where to Find Adele Further Listening:  Hormone's Playlist  GLP1's Done Right University Check Out Adele Wimsett: Instagram Website More Adele Disclaimer: Information provided in this podcast is for informational purposes only.

We Americans think that (the sin of) gluttony is simply eating too much. And we think the results of that speak for themselves in larger bodies and higher fat indexes. But we're missing a LOT of what gluttony is (really all) about. In fact, gluttony can have to do with food rules (those foods are bad and these foods are good), picky eating, and so much more. So if gluttony isn't simply eating too much food, what is it? And why do so many of us turn to food for comfort and help when we're experiencing big (or difficult) emotions?

I never do good descriptions for episodes, and this time will be no different. Mostly about PDA/lack of sleep and my new hyperfixation. And how I feel lots of joy because I haven't hyperfixated on something in so long, and it's just one of the best feelings to experience.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: https://autisticang38.substack.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/Threads:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@autisticang38⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

In this episode I am once again joined by Dr James Justin Sledge, a professor of philosophy and religion specialising in the Western Esoteric tradition and founder of the popular Esoterica Youtube channel. Dr Sledge begins by explaining his position on enlightenment, why he's not interested in becoming enlightened but still finds the concept interesting, and whether or not enlightenment claims are linked to traits of narcissistic personality disorder. Dr Sledge also reveals his own ethical orientation, considers various theories of morality, the role of tradition vs subjective experience, and what he calls the ”meaning famine”. Dr Sledge also takes aim at postmodernism and deconstructionism, retrieves the overlooked philosophers of antiquity and the Renaissance, and offers recommended reading lists for the autodidact interested in the esoteric. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep259-questioning-enlightenment-dr-justin-sledge-2 Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:01 - Don't want to be enlightened 02:20 - Belief, practice, and tradition 04:17 - Magick and the quest for power 06:42 - Judaism without belief in God 09:34 - Origins of moral authority 12:43 - Is belief in God necessary? 14:44 - Natural law and utilitarianism 16:07 - Dr Sledge's personal ethics 16:40 - Virtue ethics 19:05 - The danger of existential questions 21:59 - Intellectual and spiritual hazing 22:31 - The meaning famine 25:35 - Dr Sledge on deconstruction and post-modernism 31:43 - Cancelling the canon 33:51 - Classics reading list for the autodidact 38:43 - Why get enlightened? 40:34 - Too lazy? 41:27 - Is enlightenment worth it? 44:48 - Enlightened narcissists 45:56 - Criticism of Dr Sledge 46:56 - Danger of unthinking fealty 50:05 - Questioning tradition and existential crisis 53:09 - Pros and cons of mystical experiences 57:27 - The mystic's mistake 58:24 - Hyperfixation on baseline consciousness 59:42 - Hallucinations of the recently deceased 01:02:13 - Upsetting both sides 01:04:19 - Truth and other epistemologies 01:10:02 - Overlooked philosophers 01:12:05 - Telling the whole story of philosophy 01:13:25 - Dishonesty of academic philosophy 01:14:06 - Spiritual Renaissance philosophy and depriving 01:15:49 - The loss of awe and beauty 01:18:59 - Chasing awe with psychedelics, astronomy, and community 01:23:39 - Tactical religion and joining communities of value 01:27:19 - Huge influx of new converts to Judaism 01:28:43 - Recommended reading for Western Esotericism and overlooked philosophy 01:34:59 - Dr Sledge's go-to book … Previous episode with Dr Justin Sledge: - https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep248-esoterica-academia-dr-justin-sledge To find out more about Dr Justin Sledge, visit: - https://www.justinsledge.com/ - https://www.youtube.com/@TheEsotericaChannel …

In this episode of "Mr. and Mrs. Therapy," we dive deep into the often-overlooked signs of trauma that can manifest in everyday behaviors and reactions. Understanding these signs is crucial for recognizing the need for support and beginning the journey toward healing. Join us as we explore three key indicators that someone might be dealing with unresolved trauma. Overreactions to Common Situations: We start by discussing why some individuals might have intense emotional reactions to seemingly minor triggers. Learn about the brain's heightened state of alertness post-trauma, which can lead to exaggerated responses as a protective mechanism. Physical Symptoms Linked to Thoughts or Memories: Next, we delve into the physical manifestations of trauma. Discover why thinking about certain people or situations can trigger physical symptoms like upset stomachs or tightness in the chest.

Hiii ADHD besties! On today's show, we have our very first ADHD GUESTIE

Imagine my surprise when I found my name at the center of a heated discussion on Reddit and it wasn't in the Super Healthy Hot Babes forum. No. It was the ADHD Women forum. What??My tips for a healthy habit loop sat at the top of a thread, and the responses? Women in tears, angry, and ready to throw fists.Listen, I think they had every reason to feel that way, and I love a push to learn more. *In walks guest and ADHD Expert Brooke Schnittman stage left*.Brooke is an awesome author, podcast host, entrepreneur and ADHD woman herself.She blew my mind and really changed how I will approach and understand people with ADHD from now on. And I'm not one to make bold claims (wait, yes, I am), and I think you will too.So let's get to the nitty gritty. Can ADHD women (or men or children) form healthy habits? Well yes. But Brooke explains that the need to form habits goes way beyond fitness or health goals, habits become crucial to an ADHD person's very basic needs. Okay, I will eat my words when I say that brushing your teeth isn't a chore.  When it comes down to it, ADHD women rebel at the nearest sign of structure, but the truth is they need it to thrive. Structure, schedules, routines, microchanges, tools, rewards, medication—these are the mix bag of things ADHD women need to make things happen.But don't forget about the superpowers; people with ADHD have these internal processes and hyperfixations that can totally outdo us neurotypicals. It's a double edged sword.Tune in to hear how ADHD looks different based on your gender or age, common signs, and the accepted testing formats.And if you were listening to this episode and thinking, FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS ME as you break down to your knees in answered prayer.Then, hey, this one was for you! Reach out to Brooke, reach out to a coach, find a way to get your life structured, and secure those habits in a way that helps you thrive. It's not as easy as brushing your teeth; it's as HARD as brushing your teeth, but you CAN do it.  What's Inside:How does the habit loop work for people with ADHD?How does ADHD differ in women compared to men and children?How can people with ADHD structure their lives for better performance?What tools and supports are available to those with ADHD?Yes, I can say that after this experience, I can see how it may not be easy to brush your teeth or take a shower. There is so much more that goes into it. Do you have ADHD? How do you create healthy habits and support yourself with structure?  Let me know on Insta!Mentioned In This Episode:Coaching With BrookePodcast | Coaching With BrookeActivate Your ADHD Potential Book | Coaching With BrookeBrooke Schnittman | ADHD Coach (@coachingwithbrooke) on InstagramTransform Your Body & Habits In 28 Days.  Guaranteed.Fit Feels Good (@oonaghduncan) on Instagram photosinfo@fitfeelsgood.com

Masking is a survival technique used by neurodivergent individuals to fit in and avoid harassment or bullying. It takes a toll on mental health, leading to anxiety, low self-esteem, and a constant fear of slipping up.In this episode, Jordan James and Simon Scott discuss the concept of masking and unmasking in neurodivergent people. They explore the reasons why individuals mask their true selves, the fear of not being taken seriously, the pressure to conform to societal norms, along with the deep masking experienced during teenage years. The conversation explores the benefits and challenges of masking disabilities, the dehumanizing perspective towards people with disabilities and why unmasking is a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.Takeaways:Society's judgment of neurodivergence and disability as weaknesses contributes to the fear of being authentic and the need to mask.Social media can be a breeding ground for bullying and judgment, as people feel detached and empowered to tear others down.The desire for companionship and acceptance drives individuals to mask their true selves, but it is important to find a balance between fitting in and being authentic.Authentic friendships are built on being real and accepting each other's true selves.Teaching children to mask in certain situations can help them navigate the world, but it's important to also encourage their authentic selves.Chapters00:00 Intro00:32 Masking and Unmasking01:30 The Freedom and Comfort of Masking04:22 The Toll of Masking05:23 The Challenge of Being Fully Authentic06:22 The Persona of Masking07:22 The Loss of Energy and Foundations08:20 The Deep Rest from Masking09:19 Putting on Masks to Fit In10:19 Using Comedy and Stand-up to Mask11:42 The Unmasking Effect of Conversations12:40 The Intensity of Unmasking13:37 The Breakthroughs of Speaking Out Loud14:26 The Impact of the Podcast19:15 Knowing and Communicating Limits20:14 The Need for Companionship21:35 The Pressure to Fit In23:56 The Dark Side of Social Media25:17 The Fear of Disability28:15 The Fear of Being Ostracized29:10 The Toll on Mental Health30:16 The Pressure to Meet Neurotypical Standards31:43 The Gazelle Among Lions33:39 The Fear of Ridicule35:02 The Dehumanizing Experience37:25 The View of Neurodivergence as a Developmental Disability39:17 The Gaslighting and Lack of Self-Trust40:14 The Benefit of Masking45:04 Hyperfocus on Autism46:29 Uncomfortable with Asperger's Label47:56 Hyperfixation on Autism Stereotypes50:21 Stimming and Comfort Objects56:41 Masking as a Teenager01:02:54 Starting the Unmasking Process01:05:14 Struggling with Self-Identity01:07:14 The Privilege of Masking01:18:24 Teaching Masking to Neurodivergent ChildrenWhether you're Neurodivergent yourself, a friend, family member, or simply curious about this extraordinary way of experiencing the world, this podcast is your guide to unravelling The Neurodivergent Experience.Instagram: @theneurodivergentexperiencepodFacebook: theneurodivergentexperienceYoutube: @TheNeurodivergentExperience Hosted on Acast.

Today, Sam and Morgan talk about Most Ardently, a pride and prejudice retelling! A book and movie that both Morgan and Sam has hyperfixated on. Stay warm out there!   About The Book: Oliver Bennet who feels trapped by the endless corsets, skirts, and petticoats because the whole world views him as Elizabeth Bennet. Because of this he is forced to mingle at balls wearing pretty dresses, and is soon expected to find a husband and become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate, so at night he sneaks out dressed as a young gentleman, exploring the city. Except while he is out on his outing he runs into Mr. Darcy. A sulky young man who has been rude to “Elizabeth” at a recent social function, but Oliver realizes that there is more to Mr. Darcy then he first thought. Out of the public eye, Oliver finds that Mr. Darcy is a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart, not to mention attractive. As Oliver spends more time as his true self, he dares to dream for love and a life as man. But as suitors become bolder, even threating, and his mother pushing him towards an engagement. Oliver must choose, to settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be someone he's not, or risk it all for  a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that is truly his own.  Trigger Warning: Throughout this story Oliver is misgendered and called by his dead name.   Check Out Our Socials:  IG: www.instagram.com/justonemorepageofficial/ Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@justonemorepagepodcast Youtube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCpgQxE__Hxln2LWHWza_94w Leave Us A Book: memo.fm/justonemorepage
