- This is a conversation sharing a young person's lived experience of ADHD and Anxiety.. and a bit about her mum's experience too (That'll be me). Ideal listen for anyone navigating University or work who experiences ADHD and/ or Anxiety or anyone playing a supportive role.
Warning, there is brief swearing, conversation about recreational drugs and mention of suicide. For more information on theses films and accompany support films have a look at www.openmindsmentalhealth.co.uk These films have been funded by the UKSPF Fund through Wiltshire Council.
I refer to a helpful book in this conversation. That book is Shattered Minds by Dr Gabor Mate'
Issy mentioned EMDR: which stands for Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
