Dr Alex George on ADHD, OCD and His ‘Am I Normal?’ Journey

In today’s episode of Hurt to Healing, I’m joined by Dr Alex George for a very honest and very relatable conversation about his brand new book Am I Normal? and what it’s like to grow up feeling different without knowing why. We talk about his ADHD diagnosis at 31, living with OCD, grief, emotional dysregulation and the painful “what if?” loops that can quietly run your life - and what finally starts to help once you understand your brain. What made this conversation so special is how much we recognised ourselves in each other’s experiences, from rejection sensitivity and rumination to needing structure just to feel safe. It’s a grounding, compassionate episode about reducing shame, learning to work with your brain rather than against it, and realising you’re not broken - you’re just human.
