Natalie Lee - SELF WORTH

Trigger Warnings: mention of self harm and disordered eating. In this episode, influencer and author, Natalie Lee (aka @stylemesunday) and I explore how ADHD can affect our feelings of self worth. Natalie always struck me as someone with an abundance of self love, and yet as we chatted about our ADHD diagnoses last year, it turned out we’ve both struggled with low self esteem. Natalie shares how a sense of shame was tied to the challenges she experienced with daily tasks, relationships and how she felt in her own skin, and how she’s taking back control with dance. We talk about meds, how diagnosis can reframe so much of what we felt were personal flaws and Natalie’s tools for dealing with rejection sensitivity disorder. Natalie also reveals what she’s most excited about now, as she works on the connection between her body and mind. Natalie’s book, Feeling Myself is out on June 9th 2022, and is available to pre-order here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feeling-Myself-shame-sexual-freedom/dp/1785043862 THE EXPERT Dr Mohamed Abdelghani is a consultant psychiatrist who specialises in mood disorders and adult ADHD. www.Dyad-medical.com Please note, your first port of call if you think you might have ADHD should be your GP.
