We talk about his ADHD diagnosis at 31, living with OCD, grief, emotional dysregulation and the painful “what if?” loops that can quietly run your life - and what finally starts to help once you understand your brain. What made this conversation so special is how much we recognised ourselves in each other’s experiences, from rejection sensitivity and rumination to needing structure just to feel safe. It’s a grounding, compassionate episode about reducing shame, learning to work with your brain rather than against it, and realising you’re not broken - you’re just human.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find Alex:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://www.dralexgeorge.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.dralexgeorge.co.uk/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dralexgeorge/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@dralexgeorge</a></p><p>Buy His New Book \"Am I Normal?\": <a href=\"https://amzn.eu/d/aoEqbLD\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://amzn.eu/d/aoEqbLD</a></p><p>Listen to Stompcast: <a href=\"https://www.dralexgeorge.co.uk/podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.dralexgeorge.co.uk/podcast</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thank you to Bare Biology for sponsoring this episode.</strong></p><p>Bare Biology is an independent, women-powered business creating high-quality supplements designed to support well-lived lives.
