Meet Anneke Elmhirst, a very interesting person who deals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). I still think the diagnosis of ADHD is wrongly named since you don’t have to be Hyperactive. Also, I believe ADHD is just a different type of brain that has it’s advantages like hyperfocus and thinking out of the box. It is only a disorder from the viewpoint of the neurotypical. Anneke also thinks she has some Autistic symptoms.
Find out how Anneke helps herself with her lack of focus and concentration.
She also does virtual counseling for neurodivergent who are able to converse on the phone. Check out her website included in the description of this episode.
The last half of the episode (about 21 minutes in) we go into her unusual practice of Polyamory which is the practice of, or the desire for, romantic relationships with more than one partner at the same time, with the informed consent of all partners involved.
I know this is controversial and I don’t agree or disagree with this lifestyle. However, I thought it important to discuss and keep it real. If you want to bypass this section, please listen only to the first half for our discussion on ADHD.
In any case this is an informative episode that I hope you enjoy.
