Episode 255: Exploring the Complex World of ADHD with Dr Tamara Rosier and Dr Leigh Richardson

I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Tamara Rosier to In Your Head Talk Radio. With a rich background as a college administrator, professor, leadership consultant, high school teacher, business owner, and ADHD coach, Dr. Rosier brings invaluable insights into the multifaceted impact of ADHD. In her latest book, "You, Me, and Our ADHD Family," Dr. Rosier explores how ADHD affects individuals and family dynamics. Together, we will discuss how ADHD influences decision-making, emotional regulation, and personal relationships. Did you know that ADHD starts with a glitch in the prefrontal cortex, impacting executive functioning? This glitch makes even small decisions—like when to wake up or what to eat—more challenging as emotions take over when the limbic system becomes over-relied upon. Our conversation will cover: How families and partners can best support someone with ADHD. Communication strategies to build emotional awareness and coping skills. The connection between ADHD and heightened emotional sensitivity. Understanding the ADHD "window of tolerance" for stress and overwhelm This episode is packed with practical advice and transformative insights for anyone navigating life with ADHD or supporting someone who is.
