Deep dives
Awareness is the First Barrier
The podcast discusses how awareness is the first barrier to overcome in dealing with ADHD. Clients often come to coaching after recently becoming aware of their ADHD diagnosis. They may have had a moment of realization, like a peer pointing out their ADHD behaviors, which burst their fantasy bubble. However, between the discovery of ADHD and seeking coaching, there is a period of hyper fixation and searching for tips, tricks, and strategies. This can be unhelpful as there is a lot of useless information out there about ADHD that focuses on symptoms rather than understanding the underlying causes. It takes time for clients to move from hyper fixation to curiosity and self-compassion, acknowledging the nuances of ADHD, and recognizing their own strengths and challenges.
