Beyond Behavior: Recognizing the Wounds We Can’t See with Jheri South
About this episode
📘 Episodic Synopsis (for episode notes)
When her son’s suicide attempt became the breaking point, Jheri South did what any mother would—she stepped in, learned everything she could about ADHD, and became the coach he needed to survive. In this gripping and compassionate conversation, Jheri opens up about raising seven neurodivergent children, confronting rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), and the powerful overlap between trauma and ADHD. If you've ever wondered whether your classroom reactions are helping or harming, this episode will shift the way you see—and support—your students.
