This is not only found in individuals who suffer from ADHD. However, it is quite common in individuals who have ADHD.

I can diagnose and treat ADHD and relevant secondary diagnoses (i.e. anxiety, depression, substance abuse). I cannot prescribe or modify medication.

Psychic Defenses Initiated by Trauma

1. Shame

Shame forms in environments where love is conditional, mistakes are punished, or the child is blamed for the emotional instability of adults. It is not low self-esteem — it is self-protection. The unconscious logic is simple: “If I punish myself first, others can’t hurt me.” By attacking itself, the psyche tries to control the source of pain. Shame becomes a preemptive strike, reducing conflict and preventing humiliation in a threatening environment. It works as a child because self-attack feels safer than external attack. As an adult, the protection becomes the prison: the danger is gone, but shame keeps shrinking you anyway, blocking connection, opportunity, and vulnerability.

The fear of the unknown is difficult to manage for many people. It is interesting, however, that we would rather imagine being forced into greatness rather than choosing it ourselves. There's no difference in the character's skills and abilities, just the perception that there's no other choice. If you hope to foster change in your life, it may be helpful to gather evidence for your current skills and abilities. Sometimes we learn we were capable enough to make positive change without training for it. If you learn there's a deficit in the skills, it's a good place to make specific and measurable goals. I hope you are able to make the choice, rather than be forced into, your desired positive change.
