An ADHD coach explains how to separate struggles from shame by first teaching how ADHD actually works, then building strategies that fit your brain instead of fighting it. The goal is moving from self-blame to practical solutions that work.
Chapters
I start my coaching engagements with some education about how ADHD shows up for kind of all of us, and then I ask the client to nuance that for them. How does it show up for you? What is the impact for you? So that once they understand that it was never a failure to try harder, or something that they just couldn't do, and it was because they were just a bad person, something that we all kind of carry a little bit of, but it was actually just a difference in the way that they're wired, we can start letting go of the sort of the shame, you know, the sort of bad feelings that a lot of us carry. And then we can move into, you know, creating new ways of thinking and doing that are unique to them. You know, from that point, it becomes quite similar to executive coaching or, you know, life goal coaching. You're aiming to then get the client from where they are to a position that they want to be in. But in a way that honors the sort of unique neurological makeup of, of that particular client.
