Here’s my list of what I’m exploring this week.
What I’m Saying
Are You Always Interrupting? Why and What You Can Do About It
Salon.com interviewed me for their article on people who interrupt others. There’s the ADHD slant, of course. Added bonus: my friend and colleague, Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, is also quoted in the piece.

What to Read Next
So excited to hear that Sari Solden will be re-releasing and updating her book, Journeys Through ADDulthood in hard copy on June 30!
From Amazon: In this book, Sari Solden takes what has been called a “groundbreaking” look at the emotional turmoil often precipitated by ADHD and offers readers a roadmap to a richer, more meaningful life. Living with ADHD affects the development of one’s view of self, especially for those not diagnosed until adulthood, who have spent many years of feeling “different” without knowing why.

I remind myself that I don’t want the other person/people to feel that I’m not valuing or listening to their comments. I also know that interrupting often makes it look like I want the conversation to be ‘all about me’, which of course it is not.
I learned Active Listening skills when I did a counselling certificate, long before my mid-life diagnosis.
Lizzi,
Thanks for your helpful comment. It’s great that you developed this self-awareness and utilize tools you learned to help you with this. I’m impressed!
