Episode 22: The Spiral of Shame

  • Summary

  • A diagnosis of ADHD, autism or dyslexia is merely an indication that your brain works in a different - and exciting - way.

    So why are the rates of co-occurring anxiety and depression so high for neurodivergent people?

    In this episode, Sonia talks to 16-year-old Emily Martin, who has ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia. Emily suffered from intense anxiety and low self-esteem throughout her primary school years.

    Therapist Jane Kjersten explains the specific type of trauma that can come from feeling ‘lesser than’, and suggests ways to heal from the emotional pain.
