The Christina Crowe Podcast: Making the invisible VISIBLE

Show Notes

Join us for a brief season intermission, and a replay of a favourite solo episode from Season One!

In today’s replay solo episode, I’m addressing common questions, so important to make visible in the pursuit of change in ADHD life with a psychotherapist. Today, I’m talking about the importance of the ‘ADHD lens’ when we are both engaging in therapy, in coaching and most importantly, in the task of knowing ourselves more completely. We have to know ourselves before we can self-advocate, which comes before we can talk about what’s important to us, why we do the things we do, and to hopefully end up feeling more connected with our loved ones.

I cover:

What does the ‘adaption’ a therapist needs to make for a client with ADHD look like?

Why do people with ADHD struggle with time?

Why is time management for ADHD brains different from the ‘typicals?

What is the sweet spot in Christina’s Boredom/Overwhelm Venn Diagram?

If you’re a therapist considering starting a group, this episode offers both a reality check and encouragement. It’s not about failure; it’s about understanding the truth of what you’re signing up for and why mentorship, systems, and self-awareness are non-negotiable for long-term success.

In this short hot-take episode, Christina Crowe, RP, reflects on the importance of authenticity, attribution, and integrity in the mental health field and beyond. Drawing on years of professional and lived experience, she challenges us to slow down, acknowledge those who came before us, and recognize the difference between being inspired and taking credit. This candid reflection unpacks why crediting sources matters, how to avoid performative advocacy, and why real impact depends on trust, reciprocity, and community.
