• Professor James Brown on ADHD in Adulthood: Struggles, Stigma, and Strengths

  Today we’re exploring a subject that’s so often misunderstood, oversimplified, or brushed aside - ADHD in adulthood, and particularly what it means for women.If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why you feel constantly overwhelmed, why you can be so capable in some areas but struggle so deeply in others, or why that inner critic of yours feels louder than anyone else’s voice — this conversation might just be a lightbulb moment.I’m joined by Professor James Brown, co-author of ADHD Unpacked, co-founder of the charity ADHD Adult UK, and the self-proclaimed least popular host of The ADHD Adults Podcast. James brings a mix of hard evidence, lived experience, and refreshing honesty to the topic of ADHD. He was himself only diagnosed as an adult, and his story of loathing, self-doubt, and eventual self-acceptance is one I think many of us - whether or not we have ADHD - will see parts of ourselves in.In this episode, James and I unpack the myths, the stigma, and the very real struggles of ADHD - especially how it shows up differently in women, and why so many of us have gone undiagnosed for far too long. This isn’t just about labels or medication - it’s about understanding ourselves with compassion, lifting the shame we carry, and finding ways to live with more ease and self-acceptance.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Professor James Brown:Book: https://amzn.eu/d/6GqLojXInstagram: @adhdadult_jamesStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

• HEALING 101: Releasing Stuck Emotions Through Regression Therapy with Mariko Bangerter (Part 1)

  If you’ve ever felt like talk therapy just wasn’t getting to the root — this episode might open something up for you.Today I’m joined by Mariko Bangerter, regression therapist and founder of Mindsetting, to talk about a form of therapy that honestly blew my mind. Regression therapy goes deeper than the conscious mind — guiding you into a relaxed, altered state to access the subconscious, where so many of our unhealed wounds and limiting beliefs live.We talk about how past trauma gets stored not just in the mind, but in the body… and how revisiting old memories — even ones we didn’t know were there — can release years of stuck emotion in just a single session. I even share a bit about my own experience working with Mariko, which felt almost psychedelic in how vividly I reconnected with forgotten parts of myself.If you’ve ever felt stuck, or like something in you is trying to heal but can’t quite reach the surface — this might be the missing piece.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Mariko:Instagram: @mindsetting.by.marikoWebsite: https://www.mindsetting.co.uk/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

• Erica Komisar on How Early Childhood Shapes Mental Health

  This episode might be one of the most confronting and important conversations I’ve ever had. I’m joined by psychoanalyst, parent coach and author Erica Komisar to talk about the emotional and neurological development of children in the earliest years of life – and why those first three years matter more than we’ve been led to believe.Erica doesn’t sugarcoat things. She talks openly about how modern parenting culture – especially the pressure on mothers to “do it all” – is clashing with what babies actually need to feel safe, regulated, and securely attached. We explore everything from daycare and maternal instinct to eating disorders, attachment trauma, and the long-term mental health effects of early separation.It’s a conversation that may stir discomfort, but that’s kind of the point. Because if we want to raise healthy, emotionally resilient children – or begin to heal from our own childhood wounds – we have to be willing to look at the hard truths.Find Erica:Instagram: @ericakomisarWebsite: https://www.ericakomisar.com/Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

• Dr Judith Joseph on The Hidden Depression In High Achievers

  What if the person who seems to have it all together is actually struggling in silence?In this episode, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr. Judith Joseph – psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning – to unpack a form of depression that so many people relate to but rarely talk about: high-functioning depression.We dive into why it’s often missed, how it hides behind achievement, and what it really means to live without joy – even while ticking every box of a “successful” life.Dr. Judith shares insights from her groundbreaking research and her own personal experience, with wisdom that’s as validating as it is actionable. We also explore the mind-body connection, the role of trauma, and the small but powerful “points of joy” we can reclaim in our everyday lives.Whether you're running on empty or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you feel seen – and maybe even a little more hopeful.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Dr Judith Joseph:Website: https://drjudithjoseph.com/Book: https://amzn.eu/d/bZZreAaInstagram: @drjudithjosephStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
