Summary
What if being "too self-aware" isn't actually the problem? What if you're just aware of the symptom but not the mechanism creating it? In this episode, I break down why ADHD self-awareness still leaves you stuck. You know you rush, procrastinate, and avoid. But knowing the behavior doesn't change it because awareness at the surface level isn't deep enough . True awareness isn't knowing what you're doing. It's understanding why it's happening. When you understand the thoughts, beliefs, and nervous system patterns driving the behavior, that's when real change begins.
