Five reframes that took decades of shame off my shoulders

A Late Realisation Isn’t a Tragedy
How to reframe “wasted years” as proof of your resilience — not your failure.
This Is For You If…
You’ve carried a quiet question for a long time
- You were diagnosed — or realised something — later in life
- You’re an adoptee carrying a wound you can’t quite name
- You’ve lived with anxiety, insomnia, or overthinking for years
- You’ve quietly believed something about you was “broken”
“You were never broken. You were responding to a world that didn’t understand you.”
— Torsten Lawrence
Who Wrote This
I spent 55 years not understanding my own mind
I was adopted as a baby, and it wasn’t until my fifties that I realised the patterns of a lifetime pointed to ADHD. In between were decades of anxiety, insomnia, and the belief that something about me was fundamentally broken. It wasn’t. Now I write the books I wish someone had handed me 30 years ago.
Author of three books on ADHD, adoption, and healing.
