The Push and Pull of AuDHD

Why Boundaries Feel Impossible When You're Neurodivergent

If you're neurodivergent, setting boundaries probably feels genuinely impossible. Not just hard - actually impossible. In this episode, I break down the real reasons why: * How your nervous system responds to boundary-setting as a threat * The conditioning that convinced you your needs don't matter * Why neurotypical boundary advice never worked for you This isn't about willpower or being "strong enough." It's about understanding what's actually happening in your brain and nervous system. I'm a registered mental health nurse, interpersonal psychotherapist, and therapeutic coach. I'm also ADHD and autistic (diagnosed at 47 and 50), so I get it both professionally and personally.

The Push and Pull of AuDHD

You crave quiet and predictability, but your ADHD brain is racing and restless inside. If you're a late-diagnosed AuDHDer, you know this exhausting push and pull. This episode explores what it's really like to manage two nervous systems that want opposite things, why it leads to burnout, and what actually helps.

When You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore (Or never have)

Have you ever frozen when someone asks "What do you want?" - not from overwhelm, but because you genuinely don't know? In this first episode, Alice explores self-trust for late-discovered neurodivergent adults. We dive into why decades of masking means many of us never learned to trust ourselves in the first place, how people-pleasing becomes a nervous system survival strategy, and practical steps to start rebuilding that trust. Includes the "small decisions practice" - a gentle way to start reconnecting with your preferences without the pressure of getting it perfect.
