Cut the Chatter: Mastering Oversharing with ADHD
Ever blurt out way too much and then spend the next hour replaying that conversation in your head? If you’re an ADHDer who’s all about genuine connection (but sometimes forgets to hit the pause button), you’re in the right place!
Oversharing isn’t just about being an open book that might make others feel awkward or overwhelmed—it’s about uncovering the hidden dynamics behind our ADHD tendencies. It’s a deep dive into how impulsivity and intense emotions can sometimes transform our strengths into vulnerabilities, even turning our genuine desire to connect against us.
In this episode, ADHD coach Zarina Boily dives deep into the art—and occasional misadventure—of oversharing. With empathy, practical insights, and a sprinkle of humour, she unpacks why our fast-paced brains sometimes turn us into an open book, and more importantly, how to decide what to share, when, and with whom.
What You’ll Learn:
- The Why Behind the Spill: Understand the impulsivity, intense emotions, and need for connection that can lead to oversharing.
- The Three Filters: Adapt Socrates’ wisdom by asking: Is it true? Is it good? Is it useful?
- The Concentric Circles: Learn to sort your relationships—from your ride-or-die BFFs to mere acquaintances—and tailor your sharing accordingly.
- Actionable Strategies: From pausing before speaking to assessing trust levels and tuning into your emotional state, discover tangible steps to reclaim control over your conversations.
- Personal Stories & Theta Healing: Hear real-life examples (including that unforgettable work moment) and discover techniques like Theta Healing to reset those automatic responses.
