ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Stuck in "fight or flight" and don't know why? Your triggers aren't flaws — they're old programs nobody asked about. The Impulsive Thinker® breaks the silence on trauma's real business cost.
In This Episode:
- Why past trauma, not ADHD, drives most Entrepreneur triggers
- How your nervous system sabotages you without warning
- Why asking "why" beats slapping on another label
What You'll Take Away:
- Trauma gets missed — even after years of therapy
- ADHD isn't the cause of constant fires and emotional resets
- Your labelled "issues" might be survival patterns from childhood
- No one asks what shaped your nervous system — and that's the actual problem
- You never learned to feel safe, so "safe" feels wrong
ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode is about the link between trauma, ADHD, and business chaos for neurodivergent Entrepreneurs. The Impulsive Thinker® reflects on his recent conversation with Patrick Murphy to confront what traditional therapy misses. He tackles trauma-driven patterns and nervous system triggers — not just "ADHD symptoms." You'll hear why being labelled isn't fixing anything and how nobody asks the only question that matters. This is a hard look at why staying "on edge" can ruin your business and your relationships. If you're tired of being told you're "too much" but never heard, you need this episode.
Email me about it at andre@theimpulsivethinker.com. Remember — ADHD failure is measured on society's measuring stick. Not yours. Your brain runs on interest, not importance. That's not a flaw. That's a different operating system. ADHD is not a deficit. It's a difference.
GUEST BIOPatrick Murphy is a former Wall Street Journal executive turned mental health coach for high-performing Entrepreneurs. He built his startup after somatic work finally addressed the anxiety therapy never touched.
