<p>Psychotherapist Whitney Goodman is here today to talk about a crucial topic for many of us: navigating family-of-origin relationships as an adult with ADHD. We dive deep into the challenges and complexities neurodivergent individuals face within their families, especially during significant life transitions.<br><br>Whitney and I discussed how poor communication skills can create friction within families, especially when parents are skeptical about ADHD diagnoses. We emphasized the importance of supportive parental responses and self-awareness for strengthening family bonds. Generational differences in emotional health awareness were another focal point, with older generations often suppressing feelings while younger ones advocate for open expression.<br><br>The message is hopeful: personal growth can be a pathway to healing relationships.</p><p>Whitney Goodman - <a href="https://callinghome.co/">Calling Home</a><br> <br>Watch this episode on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@I.have.adhd.podcast">YouTube</a> <br>Have questions for Kristen?
