If you’ve ever wondered why a simple conversation can feel so overwhelming with ADHD, this episode is for you. Dr. Sasha Hamdani joins me to explain what’s really happening inside the ADHD brain—and how it impacts emotions, rejection, relationships, and communication.

We talk about why everything can feel “louder,” why feedback can hit so hard, and practical ways to communicate without shutting down, spiraling, or becoming overwhelmed.

I agree with the lady. It's not focus. It's regulation. Speaking from experience as an adult. She even has some mannerisms when thinking about what she wants to say are shared by me.

as a neurodivergent person (Autism-ADHD), thanks for talking about this topic: ADHD + communication. This is so helpful for those of us in the spectrum to understand our communication style better. I appreciate the explanations and examples shared. Would be interesting to have something about Autism + communication too. i dunno maybe in a future episode? thanks again.

My ADHD can be so frustrating sometimes if I choose to focus on it. Especially after being on adderall without a break for a little while, right when I take a medicine break it’s just so noticeable but it’s just the way I am and I have to be grateful for that!

I have dyslexia and ADHD - I was an executive for years and finally hit a wall in my late 40s when my body and mind shut down.

I used to struggle with staying organized, managing my daily tasks, and keeping my thoughts from feeling all over the place. I started using ADHD Notebook for Adults: Focus, Planning & Organization Journal Daily Notes, Ideas & To-Do Lists, and it has made a real difference in how I plan and organize my day I love having a place to write down my ideas, daily tasks, and plans instead of trying to remember everything in my head. It helps me stay focused, break things into smaller steps, and feel less overwhelmed It’s definitely not a magic cure for ADHD, but for me, it has become a simple and practical tool that I actually enjoy using every day. 📓

Neurodivergent people tend to surround themselves with other neurodivergent people. If most of your friends are neurodivergent, you may want to consider the possibility that you may be neurodivergent yourself.

I have ADHD, PTSD, CPTSD and a fearful avoidant attachment style. It's difficult to determine which symptoms come from which issue. It's nice to have someone speak on the topic like this.

I love how you discusses how to communicate with someone with ADHD and how ADHD people can communicate better. I would also be interested in learning more about how two spouses (or other family members) that both have ADHD can communicate better.

Thanks for keeping the podcast 1 hour; keeping it back and forth; bulletizing the chat somewhat :). Another idea to partition when you talk specific topics so I get big picture of this conversation - An adhder :)

I was really wanting to hear about emotional regulation in people with adhd

I have never told I may have a combination of ADHD and Autism. Dont want a diagnosis. However, this is helpful for me and one of my siblings. Thank yourself for this 🙏

Just Audhd diagnosed after a life of hell trying to get through, be understood and accepted. It's truly so heartbreakingly difficult..
I'm 63 .. and so relieved at last to begin to understand so much about myself and experiences in this world.
