The Chase Merrell Podcast

Nov 15 2023 • 49 mins

👋🏼 Hi, my name is Chase, and I recently discovered I have Adult ADHD.

Not sure I ever imagined I’d share something as honest or vulnerable from a platform like this, but after walking out a journey over the past 2 years, I knew it was time. This week’s episode unpacks my journey of discovering I’ve had a life-long struggle with ADHD and how through counseling, medication, and a lot of powerful moments with Jesus, I’ve come to embrace and navigate the world of ADHD as a Christian and Pastor.

Allow me to introduce you to my Counselor, and experienced Psychologist, Dr. Jeff Wagaman! In this week’s podcast, Dr. Jeff and I dive deep into the world of psychology, mental health, and counseling — delving into the stigma often associated with seeking help, particularly in the church community.

We discuss the potential benefits of adopting a preventative approach to counseling, addressing issues before they escalate. I'll also share my personal experience with ADHD, and how it has shaped my life. Jeff lends his expertise, shedding light on how adult ADHD is often overlooked, and the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Join us as we dispel common misconceptions about mental health, share our personal journeys, and provide insight into how proper care and medication can be transformative. Whether you're struggling with mental health issues, know someone who is, or want to gain a better understanding, this episode of The Chase Merrell Podcast is for you.

🙏🏻 I pray that today's convo inspires and encourages you to take one step closer to getting FREED UP to BUILD UP in your life and the lives around you!
