Self-restraint is an executive function. Self-restraint is born out of self-awareness, which is something those with ADHD struggle with. Collectively self-awareness and self-restraint result in self-regulation. Social media, politicians, the news media, and corporate America prey upon this challenge. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks about the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma” and illuminates how your own psychology is being used against you. Jeff talks about the need to look at yourself in the third person and use the documentary as a means to help you realize the spell being cast on you to get you addicted for their profit. The show is about creating self-awareness to manage yourself. If you have or are impacted by ADHD, you need to hear this episode.

They have an open and frank conversation about thinking, mental effort, and the challenges posed to those with ADHD, as well as the urge to escape.
