MY MISSION
To spread awareness about nonhyperactive ADHD (what i call "Hidden ADHD") in order to help those who are suffering. They should know what they can do to help. They should know they are not lazy, unmotivated, or willfully irresponsible. They should know that they have the potential to realize their full potential and live the life of their dreams.
This episode serves as a sort of “Dopamine Masterclass”. I discuss the immensely powerful chemical that we all make in our brain and body: dopamine. I describe what it does and the neural circuits involved. I explain dopamine peaks and baselines, and the cell biology of dopamine depletion. I include 14 tools for how to control your dopamine release for sake of motivation, focus, avoiding and combating addiction and depression, and I explain why dopamine stacking with chemicals and behaviors inevitably leads to states of underwhelm and poor performance. I explain how to achieve sustained increases in baseline dopamine, compounds that injure and protect dopamine neurons including caffeine from specific sources. I describe non-prescription supplements for increasing dopamine—both their benefits and risks—and synergy of pro-dopamine supplements with those that increase acetylcholine.

What's the difference between stress, anxiety, and worry? And why does it matter? If we want to resolve our stress and anxiety, we need to know the difference and change how we respond to each form of anxiety. We often use the terms stress and anxiety interchangeably, but when we are lazy with our speech, it makes it harder to learn specific skills to resolve, treat, or cope with anxiety disorders.

About Me:
I’m Emma McAdam. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have worked in various settings of change and growth since 2004. My experience includes juvenile corrections, adventure therapy programs, wilderness therapy programs, an eating disorder treatment center, a residential treatment center, and I currently work in an outpatient therapy clinic.
In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.
And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love e

This episode explains the science of motivation and drive. I explain how dopamine, which is a chemical that we all produce in our brains, drives our desire to achieve and pursue our goals as well as our ability to move and enjoy pleasure. How we can use specific behaviors, reward programs and dopamine-prolactin levels to maintain motivation and pleasure for the long-term is what I discuss. I also talk about dopamine in ADHD, craving, addiction, and some amazing results regarding the specificity of drug effects that are purely based on belief.
