Sam Thompson: "My mind doesn’t switch off!" People pleasing and ADHD hyperfocus
Over deze aflevering
<p>Sam Thompson has made a career out of making people laugh, but behind the pranks and infectious energy, there’s a lot of panic and overthinking.</p><br><p>In this chat with Fearne, Sam shares how anxiety and undiagnosed ADHD shaped everything from his relationships to his self-confidence, and why it took years of therapy before he understood the patterns he kept repeating. Who do <em>you</em> call in a crisis? Sam has three people he goes to for very specific reasons when he’s spiralling.</p><br><p>Sam and Fearne also debate the people-pleaser and non-people-pleaser ways to leave a party, and Sam reveals some of the (amazing!) BTS goss from his content creation with Pete Wicks.</p><br><p>Plus, why was Sam willing to <em>pay </em>to go on I’m A Celeb...??</p><br><p>Sam’s book, You, Me, and ADHD is available now.</p><br><p>If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:</p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/38069e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Louise Thompson</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/340299" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jamie Laing</a></p><br><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/37b877" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ant and Dec</a></p><p>Child on the line is a three-part documentary podcast series celebrating the Volunteer Counsellors of Childline, and the brave children & young people who contact the helpline service.</p><p>Listen here: <a href="https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.childonthelinepodcast.com/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
