Episode Details

For people with ADHD, guilt can feel like a full-time job you never signed up for. 

In this episode, Dr. J digs into why your brain keeps hitting replay on minor mistakes, why “I shouldn’t have said that” can echo for hours, and how emotional overdrive makes tiny errors feel enormous. 

You’ll get clear strategies to pause, notice patterns, and respond without spiraling.
