The ADHD/Anxiety Connection: How to Find Daily Calm with Dr. Russell Ramsey

🌟My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is available to preorder here🌟

ADHD and anxiety often go hand in hand, creating a cycle of self-doubt, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. In this episode, Dr. Russell Ramsay, a clinical psychologist and leading expert in adult ADHD, joins me to unpack the deep connection between ADHD and anxiety—and how to break free from the cycle.

With over two decades of research and clinical practice, Dr Ramsay shares practical tools, mindset shifts, and strategies to help women with ADHD reduce anxiety, improve self-trust, and navigate daily challenges with confidence.

The discussion also touches on the emotional regulation difficulties that accompany ADHD, as many people struggle with a history of negative self-talk and external criticism. By reframing these experiences and focusing on practical tools, we aim to empower listeners to take control of their anxiety and ADHD, embracing their unique journeys with understanding and resilience.
