Thriving with ADHD
Living with ADHD can be a nightmare.
The house is a mess.
Your to-do list is starting to look like a CVS receipt.
Creditors are calling because you forgot to pay that credit card. Funny thing is…
You forgot you even HAD that credit card!
Maybe you’ve been treated for ADHD…
After all, it’s highly treatable.
Seeing a psychiatrist is helping…
And the medication has done something to restore the executive functioning compromised by ADHD…
But it’s still hard to get through that never-ending to-do list.
Therapy can make a difference.
Most adults with ADHD have lived with it their whole life, struggling with school, work, and relationships. Through those challenges, they often develop unhelpful beliefs about themselves, like…
“I’m a slob.”
“I’m too disorganized to do that job.”
“I shouldn’t even try to do that.”
“It’s probably my fault; I’m always making mistakes.”
In therapy, you will learn to challenge those beliefs and replace them with more realistic, helpful ways of thinking.
Hacks to help you thrive, not just survive…
Your ADHD brain works differently from a neurotypical brain. So, you might have to use different strategies to get things done.
You know perfectly well what needs to get done, but for some reason, you can’t get yourself to do it. You might say, “I just don’t have the energy to do this right now. Maybe I’ll feel ready to do it after dinner.”
Then, after dinner, you only feel like binge-watching the latest series on Netflix. Then, you get tired, so you go to bed. Maybe you’ll feel like doing that project tomorrow!
You don’t have to wait until you “feel like” doing something to get started.
With practice, you’ll learn to tolerate the discomfort of doing something when you don’t feel like it.
You’ll also learn to identify small pieces of that project you can do to get started.
You’ll learn to tackle the “time-blindness” that comes along with ADHD… and much more!
Dreams can come true!
Imagine attaining all the goals you didn’t think you were organized or motivated enough to achieve.
Maybe it’s going back to school…
Writing a book…
Starting a new career…
Improving your credit rating…
Inviting friends to your home (and it’s already clean!!)…
Therapy can give you the confidence and skills you need to get there.
When it comes to ADHD…
I know all about it because I have it… even though I wasn’t diagnosed until I was in my 30s.
I just thought I was sloppy, disorganized, and lazy. I didn’t understand why things that seemed easy for my friends were so hard for me.
Treatment has been a game-changer for me, and it will be for you, too!
