For decades, women with ADHD have been overlooked and undiagnosed. That’s finally beginning to change. But there’s still so far to go. That’s where The ADHD Channel for Women comes in. We’re a channel made by women with ADHD, for women with ADHD. And we’re talking about the things we want to hear. Women with ADHD need (good!) information, smart takes on ADHD topics, and so much more. Hang out with Cate Osborn and guests as they discuss ADHD, relationships, and sex on Sorry, I Missed This. Get answers to ADHD questions you didn’t know you had from Dr. Monica Johnson on ADHD and…. Or join journalist Rae Jacobson on Hyperfocus for deep dives, personal stories, and real talk about neurodivergence.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:18:46.908508+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781"},"episode":{"title":"ADHD and self-harm: Why people with ADHD are at greater risk","slug":"adhd-and-self-harm-why-people-with-adhd-are-at-greater-risk","published_at":"2026-05-19T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781/adhd-and-self-harm-why-people-with-adhd-are-at-greater-risk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/missunderstood-the-adhd-in-women-channel-6934781","url":"https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/missunderstood/adhd-self-harm-risk","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/1245/afp-935247-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a/episodes/1b6a2fe5-0479-4a96-9c7d-2f70831c0226/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=1a7154d3-8c76-4ded-a925-5975fa97f65a&awEpisodeId=1b6a2fe5-0479-4a96-9c7d-2f70831c0226&feed=60WJALk_","summary":"Why is ADHD so closely linked to self-harm? In this episode, Dr. J breaks down how the core features of ADHD — impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, sleep disruption, and difficulty with the “pause button” — can create a perfect storm for dangerous coping. She explains why big emotions hit harder and faster with ADHD, and how that can lead to self-harming behaviors. Dr. J also shares evidence-based strategies for building safer ways to cope, including DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), self-compassion exercises, and safety planning. And she talks about maintaining the routines that keep ADHD symptoms manageable. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7.","meta_description":"Why is ADHD so closely linked to self-harm?
