This started the way a lot of my thoughts do — from something small that then refused to stay small. I have combined ADHD, though I lean more inattentive, and I also live with misophonia, so I know that particular moment when ordinary background noise suddenly stops feeling ordinary. I was out running, my music cut out, and almost instantly everything around me felt far louder than it had any right to — not dramatic, just that immediate internal shift where sound stops being background and starts landing directly inside your nervous system. Which took me straight into something else I keep circling. How often we still talk about ADHD and associated features as though everything sits neatly in separate boxes, when lived experience rarely feels that neat. Because once you really start looking, it is hard not to notice how much seems to gather around the same core wiring over time: sensory overload, masking, rejection sensitivity, intrusive thinking, people pleasing, hyper-awareness, shame responses, all the quieter internal adaptations people often carry for years before they even realise they are there. And then I found myself wondering about things like Tourette’s too — whether some of that leans more toward the hyper side of the same underlying picture, just expressed differently. Some of it may well sit separately. But some of it also makes me wonder how much develops around years of trying to regulate, suppress, decode, compensate, recover, and repeat — especially the parts that stay internal and therefore often get mistaken for personality rather than recognised for what they are. The more I scribble around it, the less it feels like random overthinking and the more it feels like there may be something in it. I don’t know if I’m off track yet — but I’m not fully convinced I am.

TRUMP HAS ENDED THE WAR ON DRUGS !!! I have created this content using our MAUNi Tech processes to help us as coaches to understand how best to show up as professional lived experience coaches. Video Link The provided text examines the growing interest in ibogaine as a tool for addiction recovery, cautioning against viewing it as a standalone "silver bullet." While the substance can facilitate profound psychological breakthroughs, the author argues that long-term success depends on a robust integration process rather than the experience itself. Utilising the Collins Window framework, the source emphasizes that medical, social, and coaching support must coexist to turn a temporary shift into a sustainable lifestyle change. It highlights the specific role of professional coaches in helping individuals translate newfound insights into practical, everyday structures. Ultimately, the text advocates for a multidisciplinary approach that balances the excitement of medical innovation with the necessity of community accountability and individual responsibility.
