Pathways to Potential Ep1 - Ian's Story - Overcoming ADHD Stigmas and Embracing Healing
Ever felt like an outsider in your own life? Join us as we share a deeply personal story of growing up in the UK during a time when understanding of ADHD was virtually nonexistent. Faced with bullying and isolation, a late ADHD diagnosis finally brought clarity and relief to lifelong struggles with self-confidence and vulnerability. This episode offers a candid reflection on how societal and educational stigmas in the late 70s and early 80s shaped one individual's early life and continue to influence their relationships today.
Journey with us through the path of healing and self-discovery after leaving a mentally abusive relationship. By identifying personal triggers and understanding how past experiences shape attachment styles, we've learned to prioritize self-care and recognize what truly brings happiness. Through therapy and introspection, navigating anxiety and setting boundaries in relationships has become a focal point of growth, emphasizing the importance of understanding personal triggers and striving for a balanced life.
Explore the transformative power of community and collective support in mental health, especially for those entangled with the judicial system. We draw parallels between personal trauma and the paths taken by individuals with criminal convictions, advocating for addressing mental health and substance abuse as crucial to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Together, we aim to create a supportive community where understanding and healing are prioritized, inviting you to be part of this collective journey towards empowerment and change.
