Welcome to ADHD and Narcissistic Emotional Rollercoaster with Marie Birtel, a podcast dedicated to unravelling the intricate connection between ADHD and the profound emotional impact of narcissistic abuse.

Join Marie Birtel, a psychological advisor specialising in narcissistic abuse trauma and ADHD, as she shares her down-to-earth yet professional insights into this complex landscape.

Marie’s journey into this field is deeply personal. Growing up in a family with undiagnosed narcissistic traits, she experienced firsthand the emotional neglect and difficulties in focusing that often accompany such environments.

Though not diagnosed with ADHD herself, she recognised similar challenges in her own struggles with emotional regulation and concentration, particularly in the aftermath of trauma. This lived experience, coupled with five years as a psychological advisor, gives Marie a unique and empathetic perspective on the emotional rollercoaster many face.

Have you ever felt like your ADHD amplifies the pain of narcissistic interactions? Or questioned whether your emotional responses are rooted in your neurodivergence or the scars of abuse? This podcast delves into these crucial questions.

Marie brings her expertise to help you understand the often-problematic dissociation between cognition and emotions that can be exacerbated by narcissistic abuse, particularly for those with ADHD.

Through a story-driven approach, Marie unpacks the subtle and overt ways narcissistic behaviours can impact the emotional well-being of individuals with ADHD, from the challenges of gaslighting to the difficulties in forming healthy relationships.

You'll gain insights into coping mechanisms developed in response to both ADHD and narcissistic dynamics, and begin to understand how to navigate the unique emotional landscape created by this intersection.

If you're seeking a relatable and professional voice to guide you through the emotional complexities of living with ADHD and healing from narcissistic abuse, then join Marie Birtel on this insightful journey.
