Current Episode
What if you could drop your anxiety levels in half within 5 minutes? What if you had the tools to do that with you all the time? Tapping is an Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT changes brain chemistry, changes self-perception, opening up more possibilities than fight/flight/freeze reactions. My guest in this episode is Theresa Lear Levine, a Master EFT Practitioner who has lived the overwhelmed anxious life and transformed that into a lower stress confident approach to life.
My Take
Look here for selected articles and evidence-based information on all aspects of ADHD, and for my opinions and practice-based evidence derived from 49+ years of practicing medicine in a variety of settings, from full-spectrum Family Medicine to specializing in ADHD for the last 20 years.

Gain New Clarity: An ADHD Course for Women
For many women, the realization comes after years of pushing harder than everyone else just to stay organized. On the outside, they may appear capable and dependable. On the inside, it often feels like they are barely holding things together. They may have been described as anxious, overthinking, or “too sensitive.” They wonder why systems that once worked suddenly stop working during periods of stress, burnout, or major life changes.
What if this has been ADHD all along?
Many women do not recognize that they have been coping with ADHD symptoms until adulthood. For years, they develop ways to compensate—working harder, masking struggles, and keeping everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. Eventually, the effort becomes too much to sustain.
CHADD developed the mini-course ADHD in Women: A Clarity Reset to help women begin making sense of these experiences.
If you’re beginning to explore ADHD for the first time or ready to understand more about how ADHD may have been affecting you for years, this short course offers a thoughtful place to start.
Learn more and explore the course:
The first of three sessions, Understanding Yourself focuses on how ADHD shows up in your life and why. Tamara Rosier, PhD, dives into what is masking, what drives it, and what it costs over time. Together we’ll explore how late diagnosis and co-occurring conditions shape your experience. You’ll also learn how self-acceptance grows from understanding—not willpower. You’ll learn:
- common masking behaviors and why they happen
- the emotional and mental toll of masking
- how late diagnosis and co-occurring conditions shape self-understanding
- what self-acceptance looks like in practice
Pricing: Bundle Discount (Nonmembers): $99 for the complete series (all three sessions) Register for all three sessions and your bundle discount will be applied automatically at checkout. Discounted pricing will appear as “Bundle Price.” $40 for individual sessions Free for CHADD members. Not a member yet?

ADHD Treatment for Children is Under Threat
The “Make America Healthy (sic) Again” commission is considering prohibiting the use of FDA-approved stimulant medications for the treatment of ADHD in children under the age of 12. This ill-considered action is not based on anything but hearsay and personal belief, not on any of the solid reliable accurate information learned in research conducted over the past 50 years.
Congressional representatives and Senators need to hear from every voter who is concerned about this terrible travesty about to be inflicted upon people in this country, an action which will lead to …
