ADHD - Do You Need the Official Diagnosis?

Episode 102 with Dr. Janina Elbert.

“I’m not sure if I would call ADHD my superpower, but certain strengths or ideas I get from my creative brain is definitely a superpower.”

Dr. Elbert has a PhD in clinical psychology with an extensive background in prenatal risk factors and child development. She is also an ADHD advocate and a certified ADHD coach.

Through her ADHD Empowerment Coaching practice, Dr. Elbert helps individuals with ADHD to learn, understand, and work with their unique brains to reach their full potential and feel empowered in their life. 

She also recently moved from Germany to Connecticut with her boyfriend.

We talk all about executive functioning coaching and what it entails, as well as the difference between therapy and coaching as different treatment modalities for ADHD. And we discuss when it’s time to get coaching versus therapy.

We also talk about how ADHD is regarded in Germany, and some of the differences and similarities faced by women seeking an ADHD diagnosis in Europe versus North America.
