Turn off the music and prepare for the emotional equivalent of an unaccompanied karaoke performance in front of strangers, because we’re diving into the topic of embarrassment and it’s sure to bring up some squirm-worthy memories.
This episode, Grace is walking you through the science behind embarrassment–firsthand, secondhand, and beyond. She’s covering what goes on in the brain during moments of embarrassment, why secondhand embarrassment seems to plague AuDHDers more than most, and strategies for releasing your internal judgement of yourself and others.
Remember, you can’t be embarrassed if you’re not embarrassed, so come join us as we work on letting our freak flags fly.
