Deep dives
Benefits of Group Coaching
Group coaching provides the opportunity to share experiences and expertise with others, creating a sense of validation and collective wisdom. It offers a supportive community where individuals with ADHD can connect, relate, and learn from each other's stories. Group coaching also fosters accountability and provides ongoing support and maintenance to implement learned strategies and navigate the emotional acceptance of ADHD. The ADHD Rewired alumni community serves as a valuable resource for continued growth and connection.
Managing Emotional Dysregulation
To coach oneself before experiencing emotional dysregulation, techniques from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), such as deep breathing exercises, exposure to cold, yoga, or physical exercise can help calm the nervous system and interrupt dysregulation. Mindfulness practices like breathwork and meditation can also soothe and train the nervous system over time. It is important to be proactive and develop a plan for self-soothing and engaging in activities that fill one's cup after dysregulation occurs. The ADHD Rewired alumni community offers support and resources for managing emotional dysregulation.
The Vibrant Alumni Community
The ADHD Rewired alumni community is a vast and supportive space where individuals with ADHD can connect, form friendships, and share experiences. It is like an ocean of individuals, fostering relationships and personal growth. The community offers a variety of events and sessions facilitated by coaches and members. These events provide opportunities for accountability, support, and growth. Members can explore different topics, engage in co-working sessions, and participate in various sessions that cater to their specific needs. The alumni community serves as a maintenance tool for implementing learned skills, fostering personal growth, and staying connected.
The Purpose of the Alumni Community
The ADHD Rewired alumni community serves as a tool for ongoing maintenance and continued personal growth after the 10-week coaching program. It offers a sandbox-like environment where individuals can implement skills learned during coaching and practice ongoing personal development. The community provides structure through regular events, facilitated sessions, and personal accountability. Members can tailor their engagement to suit their needs, creating a productive and supportive framework for their ADHD management journey.
