ADHD: Procrastination, Forgetfulness and Fighting
Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bitesize. Where I will serve up bite-sized portions of inspiration, knowledge, and insight! In this episode, we will be looking at ADHD. This will be a short series on the topic over the next three podcasts. One of my primary jobs as a therapist is to help people understand behaviour. Why? Because without understanding, we often jump to our own conclusions as to why things are happening. – You don’t want to get out of bed this morning? You’re lazy. – You forget to pay that bill last month? You’re irresponsible. – You didn’t do the dishes last…

Transform shame, guilt into discernment
Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bite-size. In this bitesize I will look at ways of turning those old feelings and memories based on shame and/or guilt into discernment. If you’ve got a bad case of the “should’ve”, “could’ve”, “would’ve’s”… Thoughts on repeat saying, “If only I’d done ____ instead!” – Beating yourself up doesn’t do anyone any good. Guilt and shame, in other words, are worse than useless. When we wallow in guilt and shame, self-destructive patterns are likely to occur. Such as depression, addiction, self-harm, and self-sabotage. This will likely cause even greater amounts of harm to…
