Feeling overwhelmed? Let's be honest: Probably. This week we're taking on ADHD overwhelm with coach Ian Wahlert as we deal with unplanned transitions, breaking down big thoughts, avoidance, and shut-down.
But first, we have a little follow-up from last week's show on the question of transitions. Number one, how do medications help when you're thrown by surprise transitions? Does your relationship with your meds, and all that your meds do for you, help to ease transitions โ surprise and expected alike?
From there, Ian helps us navigate overwhelm, shame, avoidance, and shut-down, as we lead up to Nikki and Ian's group coaching session on this very subject!
Learn more about Ian here, and check out their group coaching session today!
