Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of childhood rejection, bullying, and family abuse.
"Too much" and "not enough" at the same time: that's how today’s guest describes growing up in a family that treats ADHD as a character flaw. Kristen Carder is the host of the I Have ADHD Podcast and author of You're Not in Trouble: The ADHD Guide to Building Healthy, Connected Relationships. Whitney and Kristen discuss rejection sensitivity, scapegoating, and what happens when a parent or sibling insists your diagnosis isn't real.
