ADHD, Childhood, and Connection: Overcoming Rejection Sensitivity Through Understanding and Love
Tony takes the reins solo in this episode as he returns the favor of Julie hosting last week. Tony explains Julie’s quote of him saying, “Kids are little narcissists,” and talks about ego-syntonic vs. ego-dystonic behaviors in children. He then shares the importance of positive connections, the effects of childhood trauma on adult health, the impact of ADHD on familial relationships, and more. Listening to this episode will also reveal the correlation between behavioral issues and emotional immaturity, how to grow emotionally, and an interesting perspective on childhood development stages. Furthermore, it discusses the findings from a pioneering study on adverse childhood experiences (ACES) and their influence on adult lifestyle and health conditions.
