Living with ADHD

If you are here you probably have some idea what ADHD is. You know someone, parent
someone or are someone with this “disorder” (I hate that word).

ADHD is a different brain chemistry, generally low in dopamine, and a different brain wiring.
With this definition I am not seeing a disorder, are you? ADHD is different, that’s it. There is
nothing that needs fixing we just need to understand it better

The situation is that you or your loved one, a differently wired person, are trying to fit into a
world created for and by neurotypicals. Of course there are challenges.

This world wasn’t designed with you in mind is it any wonder that you keep bumping up against it?

Living with ADHD is a challenge no matter how you slice it. The “easy” stuff that others can do you find challenging. There are a lot of gifts that come with the ADHD package and understanding ADHD well can help you appreciate the strengths and navigate the challenges more easily.

So what does an ADHD coach actually do?

An ADHD coach will help you understand your different wiring. Understanding is the foundation
of patience, with yourself and others.

With understanding and patience, you will then have the bandwidth to conquer some of your biggest challenges. We work together to identify your strengths and how to let them shine. We reframe how you see your challenges for what they are: Your strengths misunderstood or not falling within the “norm”.

We figure out a way to get support for the challenges and focus on really developing your strengths. Many want to strengthen their weaknesses and I ask “Why?” Why do you have to be good at everything? Why can’t you have weaknesses where others fill in? Let’s figure out your flavor of ADHD and see how to best support you as you move toward your best life.
