You might get the run-around.  If you’re lucky, you get a diagnosis. A real diagnosis. But what about treatment?

Turns out, if you want treatment, you need to see someone else. Back to the doctor, who still doesn’t know anything about ADHD, or to a psychiatrist, for medication?

And they can’t really help you cope with your ADHD. You’ve heard “pills don’t teach skills”, but where do you get those? So, you need a coach. Or a therapist. Or both!

Do you give up, like, why bother? Or… what other choice is there?

Discover a roadmap to untangling the convoluted journey to diagnosing and treating adult ADHD.

This negative focus intensifies anxiety, exacerbating ADHD challenges and fostering a cycle of ruminative thinking that makes it challenging to break free from negative thought loops. Consequently, it hampers the ability to appreciate and embrace the positive aspects of life.

This persistent negative bias creates a neurological imbalance, making it tough to regulate emotions and effectively utilize essential Executive Functions in various life domains such as work, relationships, and decision-making.

The good news is that the brain possesses neuroplasticity—a remarkable capacity to adapt and rewire itself. By consciously directing focus and mental activity, you have the power to reshape the architecture of your brain over time. What you choose to focus on becomes amplified.

David Giwerc, Founder/President of the ADD Coach Academy and a Master Certified ADHD Coach (MCAC), offers a transformative blueprint for your ADHD brain. Drawing from over two decades of coaching experience, he empowers you to explore your latent abilities that have remained hidden within your subconscious.

This presentation examines those conditions in which people with ADHD can do anything and applies them to every day life. The presentation conceptualizes ADHD not as a disorder but rather as a 2nd type of nervous system that works perfectly well but only by its own set of rules, methods and techniques. Neurotypical techniques based on importance and rewards have been shown to work very poorly if at all. The presentations likens this as having been given the wrong “owners manual” for your ADHD nervous system back in childhood. It then presents ways in which to start the lifelong process of writing a personal ADHD owner’s manual of things that get you in the Zone and able to do anything./.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the flaws that led to failure of previous therapeutic attempts
• Learn the 5 ways in which people with an ADHD nervous system get access to their abilities and strengths ON DEMAND as the situation requires

The post Crushing Procrastination: Surprising Science and Simple Solutions with Alan P Brown appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

For example, in procrastination, there is a high correlation between uncertainty and avoidance. If something is ambiguous, then working in sprints or using a reward system won’t solve for the underlying fact that you are not clear on what to do. Focusing on solving the ambiguity is the path forward. Calling yourself a procrastinator is simply shaming yourself. You can’t manage ADHD through the lens of shame or blame.

In this webinar we’ll study Dr Russell Barkley’s executive function construct to reveal multiple life-changing insights like:

• Task Darwinism that explains why you don’t always do what is important
• The challenge of surrendering yourself to sleep.
• How your feelings often deceive you.
• Realizing that organization is a two-step process and most skip step one.
• Why chunking things down often doesn’t work, which is contradictory to what the Internet says.

Learning Objectives:

• To gain a working knowledge of Dr. Barkley’s executive function construct.
• To understand the impact of emotional self-regulation and thinking.
• To learn how behavior is a symptom of cognitive behavior driven by executive function impairment.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify signs of being in optimal states for health, growth, and restoration, and try out a couple of basic strategies for fostering those states within yourself.
• Recognize the importance of understanding the context of YOUR situation. Explore questions to help identify YOUR solid ground from which you can begin to use your curiosity as a springboard for thriving rather than surviving.
• Invite, in a playful, no-consequences way, an exploration of expanding options; to consider what else might be possible for you. Discover some starting points from which to begin to break the hold that “shoulds” have on your daily life.

But what happens if the disability is a mental health or neurodivergent condition, such as ADHD and the candidate or employee does not tell their employer?

What happens if the candidate or employee does not know they have ADHD?

What if the candidate or employee knows they have ADHD but does not consider it to be a disability as far as their work is concerned?

Most adults with ADHD do not disclose their condition to their employer because they either fear discrimination and judgement or because they do not believe it affects their work performance and so they should not have to disclose their own personal medical information. And who can blame them?

Much of the current advice provided to adults with ADHD in relation to telling their employer is:
1) Here are some tips and tricks about how you can perform effectively at work; and
2) Here are the pros and cons of disclosing to your employer. But think carefully about it. It’s probably best not to if you think you don’t think your employer will be accomodating.

In this webinar, we will explore some of the barriers to disclosure, the problems that non-disclosure can cause for both the worker and the employer, and introduce the Neurodiverse Safe Work Initiative, which has been established to make workplaces safe, healthy and inclusive for neurodiverse workers.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about “The Vicious Cycle of Non- Disclosure” and why it’s a problem for adults with ADHD and their employers
• Learn why reasonable adjustments like noise-cancelling headphones may not go far enough to ensure worker safety
• Learn two approaches employers can adopt to create work that is safe, healthy and inclusive for everyone, even their ADHD workers who may not need noise cancelling headphones!

But this is literally The End. The end of a year. The end of a month. The end of a season. For some of us, perhaps the end of a job, a marriage, an attitude.

Tonight, we’ll take a look at the small picture: how and when ADHD permits us (or forces us) to declare “Done!” And then we’ll back up to the mid-view picture – how our ADHD brains hold the events of the past five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred minutes and to what we anticipate for the next 525,600. And finally, we’ll take the 10,000-foot view of the real honest-to-goodness end: our own mortality, and how our life values set the stage for all the decisions that flow from them.

Not a light and breezy webinar, but a thought provoking journey into how not only our ADHD accents our uniqueness, but so do our choices, our approach to life (and ADHD) and our declarations of intent for 2022.

]]> Mirror, mirror on the wall, what is scary about it all? Self-awareness is very much a part of executive function and an important factor in managing ADHD. Being self-aware and owning your ADHD is often the difference between those who struggle and those who thrive. Question is what gets in the way of self-awareness? In this webinar, ADHD coach Jeff Copper will review Dr. Russell Barkley’s ADHD construct in the context of executive function. He’ll talk about the conflicting relationship between emotional self-regulation and self-awareness to look at the problem beneath the problem as a means to create mindfulness of what is going on, what is needed to be more self-aware, and why you might be resisting unbiased introspection. If you have ADHD and understand ADHD but still struggle, this webinar could provide the insight you need to move forward.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the role emotions play when it comes to self-awareness.
• Realize that to be self-aware you must confront and question your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that feel threatening.
• Recognize that self-awareness feels threatening and that the emotional side of the brain instinctively wants to fight back.

]]> Come with a journal and pen, or your favourite way to take notes or doodle. This webinar is intended to be a thought-provoking, light-hearted, and personally useful time for you. We’ll be as interactive as possible given the online format and number of attendees.

The term “self-care” has a wide range of meanings. We’ll try on some different perspectives, including the possibility that self-care is less about specific actions, but more about how we regard ourselves.
We’ll consider the differences between self-care and self-soothing (and the value of both).
We’ll also explore how self-care may look different among different people, but even for ourselves, depending on the circumstances.

Want a head-start? Between now and the event, notice your own gestures of self-care. Are there specific actions or ‘tools’ you use?
Be ready to share your favourites!

Learning Objectives:

• Redefine self-care as an essential part of ADHD symptom management and see the connection to energy and vitality.
• Acknowledge the specific challenges ADHD can present to self-care and ideas to work with them.
• Start a personalized self-care “toolkit” with the freedom, glorious freedom to DO YOU!!

The post Self Compassion & ADHD with Dr. Mark Bertin appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> A practice of self-compassion has been shown to improve our well-being, motivation, and how we treat people around us. Researchers have demonstrated that from childhood to adulthood, counter to often feared, letting go of perfectionism and self-criticism provides huge benefits in life. It’s not a new-age cry that everyone is perfect as they are, but the opposite – it’s building the ability to tackle challenges with the same benefit of the doubt you would give a close friend. It’s even more vital with ADHD, because of chronic struggles with life management, executive function-based, skills that undermine self-confidence and self-image. Without self-compassion, it becomes that much harder to stay motivated and get a handle on ADHD. For parents, teens, and adults, a healthy dose of self-compassion goes a long way to managing ADHD with more persistence, skill, and success.

Learning Objectives:

• To recognize the impact of ADHD on self-confidence and self-esteem.
• To understand the impact of low self confidence and self-esteem on motivation and resilience.
• To understand the impact of low self confidence and self-esteem on emotion and behavior towards others.
• To explain research in self-compassion on its own and in relation to ADHD
• To introduce self-compassion practices applicable in everyday life.

]]> We don’t set out to break promises or miss deadlines (repeatedly). Our challenges with knowing where to start or following through to completion are not meant to be statements of how we feel about those around us.

]]> The medications used to treat ADHD are among the most effective and safe medications in all of medicine. Often, however, they are not fine-tuned to the unique individual patient and forfeit a significant amount of their benefits unnecessarily. Worse still, poorly fine-tuned medications can cause unpleasant side effects can lead people to not take their medications as often as they need to or to stop medications altogether saying. “I tried medications and they didn’t help me.” This presentation looks at how children and adults with ADHD can objectively determine whether they are taking enough medications to get all of the possible benefits but not too much that would cause side effects…. the so-called “sweet spot dose.” If the medication and dose are not optimized, the presentation will give a method by which the person and their prescribing clinician can make adjustments to get the most out of the medication component of treatment.

Learning objectives:

• To be able to determine if the current ADHD medication and dose are optimized in order to get everything that the medication component of ADHD treatment has to offer.
• To provide a simple and logical method for the patient and their prescribing clinician to adjust and optimize ADHD medications.
• To begin to understand what the various classes of ADHD medications can do well (and what they cannot be expected to do) and how to discuss the possibility of additional medication trials with your prescriber.

]]> Making your life VAST and full of potential What if instead of thinking of ADHD as a deficit and a disorder, we saw it for what it really is, a way of being in the world which with the right support can be a wonderful way of being?

Drs Hallowell and Ratey introduced a new term for ADHD in their latest book ADHD 2.0. It’s VAST, or Variable Attention Stimulus Trait. The old term with its emphasis on pathology, on a “deficit disorder” is inaccurate and stigmatizing. The new term is far more accurate, allowing for positive attributes, not just negative ones. Dr Hallowell explains the rich and complex world of VAST and how a simple change in framing can set off an entire shift in thinking and treatment.

]]> “Impulsivity” — even ADHD folks diagnosed with inattentive presentation have it sometimes. And those of us with a heaping dose of hyperactivity are its intimate friends.

But WHY do we spend more money than we have, blurt out hurtful (but, let’s face it, honest) proclamations, fight with addictions and even have trouble saying “no” to that extra piece of cheesecake? It’s the ADHD, sure, but isn’t there more to it than that?

Yes there is and we’ll delve a little deeper during this ADDA Webinar on an impulsively-chosen different night!

Join Linda Roggli, PCC, as she peels back the covers on how impulsivity shows up for us (in more ways than you might suspect), what is happening in our lovely ADHD brains when we act on impulse and offers a few well-curated strategies that might actually work to curb it when necessary.

With so many things to consider, many people with ADHD easily get overwhelmed and end up choosing a planner for the wrong reasons – looking at aesthetics rather than functionality. Eventually, those planners end up in a pile of stuff, cluttering their space.

]]> It’s been twelve years since my wife and I received the green light to make a documentary about a comedian getting diagnosed with ADHD. ‘ADD & Loving It?! was a runaway success and the website, TotallyADD, has drawn millions of views from millions of people. That initial program spawned a sequel, ‘ADD & Mastering It!’, more than a dozen full-length programs on every aspect of ADHD, and scores of short videos. In all, I’ve had the privilege to interview 70 experts and numerous adults with ADHD. But after all those conversations and online webinars there are some quotes, some answers, that struck like lightning and still resonate with me today. The experience of these experts is diverse, they address a variety of challenges, but these all of these insights resonate with compassion and hope. Each left me moved, comforted, even relieved. Let’s look at my favourites quotes which have remained powerful and timeless.

Learning Objectives

• Participants will see the wide range of viewpoints that experts have of ‘Disorder’ and how a positive perspective can fuel ones search for solutions.

The post What To Do When ADHD Medications Don’t Work appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> About 15% of people do not respond to or can tolerate the standard ADHD medications. That is one in every 7 people so it is a common problem. Add to that the unknown number of people who initially get a good response only to lose it over time and you have a significant portion of the ADHD community. Consequently, it is surprising that no international Guideline or Standard of Care addresses these problems or offers guidance on what to do.

This presentation will offer a checklist of steps to take when the standard stimulants are not a workable option and the order that they should be considered. Some of the options are not FDA-approved but experience has shown that they are nonetheless effective and safe.
The second half of the presentation will address the many possible causes of loss of effectiveness over time and how full efficacy can be regained. A logical list of what can be tried will be provided that can be shared with your clinician to guide the investigation of what is happening and what can be done about it.

Learning Objectives:

• To understand how the ADHD medications are manage by the body and how that may prevent the medications from being effective.
• To provide a logical order of alternative medications that may be effective and beneficial when the 1st line stimulants are either not effective or not tolerable.
• To be able to assess when a patient is getting an optimal response and, if not, how to get everything ADHD medications have to offer that patient.

]]> Most people with ADHD struggle to manage their time, tasks and projects. And since technology helps in so many areas of our lives, we turn to technology for help with productivity. And doesn’t every app promise, “THIS is the answer!”?

You install the latest To Do list manager. You upgrade to the newest agenda. You download the new scheduling system. Each new tool holds promise. It’s so enticing. THIS might be the solution!

But your life is not “one-size-fits-all.” The way you work best is not exactly like the way anyone else works best. So, you compromise what works for you to do what works for the technology. You get creative, working your life around the app. Then another app launches! THIS must be the one! And down the rabbit hole you go. Soon, you’re jumping through so many hoops to manage your life, you’re further behind than ever and you have so many “productivity” apps installed, you need to upgrade your cell phone!

You think I’m going to tell you about “the perfect technology.” But technology is not the answer. It’s a tool. Productivity apps make you work their way. You need to work YOUR way.

I don’t hate technology. Like most entrepreneurs and professionals, I couldn’t run my business without it. We use computers every day. And these amazing devices we carry with us everywhere? How would we function if we weren’t instantly plugged in? We have apps to solve almost every problem in our lives. And I wouldn’t try to manage my life without technology.

In this Webinar, I will reveal the three essential components of a planning process for time, tasks and projects that will help you use technology to achieve peak productivity.

Learning objectives:

• Discover a new way of thinking about time to help you overcome ADHD’s inherent time blindness.
• Understand how creating YOUR planning process first can help you get the most out of any technology.
• Understand how the planning process can prevent the “implementation gap” breakdown between the plan and executing the plan.

]]> Ever feel like you’re missing that key ingredient called self esteem? Or maybe you’ve got it sometimes but it just won’t stick? Many, if not most, ADHD’ers struggle to sustain lasting self-esteem and confidence. When strong self-esteem is missing, it’s hard to let in compliments, negotiate salary or ask for what you really want — that is, if you even know what that is.

Society tells us we should “build,” “raise” or “get” self-esteem. What if that just keeps us on a never-ending, self-esteem gerbil wheel?

Learning Objectives:

• How self-esteem and confidence are different
• Challenge old school beliefs around “raising” self-esteem
• Learn a new, pioneering approach to navigating self-esteem and
• Gain tools for creating the sustainable self-esteem you’ve been longing for.

The post Telling Your Story: How To Make Your Voice Heard and Advocate For What You Need – with Erik “Doc” Anderson appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Does the thought of asking for what you need, for yourself or someone you care about, fill you with dread? Do you feel like you don’t have the confidence or the right words to get what you ask for? The problem is other people don’t see our struggle because our ADHD is invisible. The people around us, our coworkers, friends, service providers, doctors and therapists don’t really get it unless they’ve been there themselves. Even the people who love us most often don’t really understand.

Understanding is built one conversation, one story at a time. Learn how the power of story can help build stronger relationships both with ourselves and others. Move beyond negative self talk and limiting thinking. Become the hero of your own story.
Use your story to build the kinds of relationships that can create a better future.

]]> Living in a world that’s increasingly unpredictable and with COVID-19 affecting all aspects of our lives, people are more anxious than ever before. For folks living with ADHD, worry and fear can increase their agitation, distractedness and impulsivity and make things seem worse than they are. Dr. Saline, author of “What your ADHD child wishes you knew: Working together to empower kids in school and life” and “The ADHD Solution Deck,” discusses how anxiety works and what you can do to manage it more effectively. Rather than continuing to feel driven by your anxiety, she’ll explain why your attempts at reassurance and rationalization make things worse and how to talk back to your worries instead. She’ll show you how to change your relationship to worry and avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking. You will learn practical, helpful techniques for reducing anxiety, tolerating uncertainty and creating alternative responses to ‘what ifs’. When folks with ADHD gain these skills, they bounce back from issues with more confidence and much less worry.

]]> We all know how to set priorities, right? It’s easy! … just make a quick survey of choices, weigh those choices against any number of constraints around time, availability, money, health, and more, then rank order! Easy! Living with ADHD, as it turns out, prioritizing is not so easy. The higher noise in the ADHD brain distracts from being able to see the signals clearly enough to discern factors required to apply priority to tasks. This can increase anxiety and stress and as a result, everything appears equally urgent — an insurmountable mountain to have to climb. In this webinar, Nikki Kinzer and Pete Wright will talk about the practical realities of cutting through the noise to re-engage “fact and truth” and help those staring at the mountain of work in fear to see it instead as a hill worth climbing.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the role of triage when prioritizing under stress
• Learn the “Three Questions” that can help you become an expert prioritizing-setter
• Overcome fear by thinking of time as a budget and putting future time to work

]]> In treating ADHD, the focus often is on how the you need to change. A strengths based approach requires identify where we have had success and what we did to make it happen. This can be challenging when there is inconsistency in performance. To fully realise potential, we need a way to find the features that come easy and how to make them work in our favour instead of becoming challenges.

To do this we need to identify how we like to function, what influences that function for benefit or detriment. To do this we will discuss the ecosystem for the person with ADHD that can support or hinder successful executive function.

Learning Objectives:

– ADHD and Executive Function challenges
– Features of function for people with ADHD
– The ADHD Ecosystem – shaping executive function

The post Using Fun to Get Things Done with Kris Mitchell, MBA, ADHD Coach appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Change is a constant in life.

Recent research reviews that overcoming default behavior or choices requires some ‘secret sauce’ to connect the pre-frontal cortex with the subthalamic nucleus to get humans to make a choice other than the default.

In Sweden in 2009, Volkswagen commissioned their own studies to show humans would change their behavior faster if they made less desired activities ‘fun’. With the intention of motivating humans to make healthier, and more environmentally friendly choices, they set out to change the ordinary to the extraordinary, and measure the results.

Enlisting the help of a marketing agency, Volkswagon’s most famous example of fun theory turned a staircase in a subway station, located right next to an escalator, into a working piano (think Tom Hanks in the classic movie BIG). Each step was a different note. Typically, travelers will more often wait in the queue to enter the less active, and less healthy choice, a ride up the escalator. Who would rather take the effort to climb a staircase? By turning steps into a musical keyboard, Volkswagon recorded that 66% of travelers modified their choice from the easy ride of the escalator to the active work of climbing the stairs, because they could make music while doing it. The change was fun, and it immediately and dramatically motivated people to make the healthier choice.

How can fun theory be applied to aid in changing behavior with those with ADHD? The impulsive and yet often hyperfocus of favored activities seen with ADHD brains can make changing activities even harder. Adjusting the unfavored activity to one that is viewed as ‘fun’ changes the paradigm and perhaps provides that ‘secret sauce’ researchers were looking for between the prefrontal cortex and the subthalamic nucleus.

This webinar will review examples of applying Fun Theory to every day life and walk through an easy step by step guide on how all of us can use more fun to get things done!

Learning Objectives:

Have a working knowledge of fun theory.
Understand how fun theory can be used in everyday life.
Walk away with a simple 3 step tool to apply fun theory in your life.

The post Coping with Stress in Uncertain Times – with Michelle Frank appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Do you feel like your brain is freaking out? Do you feel ‘under attack’ and anxious? In times of danger (this is one of those times) our ADHD brain is on high alert, trying to peer around every corner and into every shadow, watching for the threat. But there’s no threat you can see. You can’t fight it. You can’t even run from it.

Evolution (a VERY slow process) has prepared your brain to keep you alive. Logic isn’t going to help your brain cope. You can’t say, “Brain, there’s nothing you – or anybody – can do about this right now. So calm down.” Try it. Doesn’t work. So, you can’t change your brain. But what if you could learn to work with it?

In judo, you learn to take down much larger, stronger opponents by using their own size and strength against them. In this Webinar, we’ll explore a sort of “brain judo.” You’ll learn ways to work with, rather than against, your ADHD brain. We can’t fix the uncertainty we’re living with right now. But you can learn to optimize your ability to manage the daily (hourly!) ups and downs so that your brain and body can feel safe, stable, and open to your day as it unfolds.

We’ll talk about self-care. We’ll discuss how to set boundaries (with yourself and others). We’ll go over some emotional regulation techniques to try. You’ll leave with some practical, actionable coping skills to reduce your stress.

]]> Do you wonder what’s going on? Are you oblivious to what’s happening in social situations? Do you misread office politics? Have you been told you are not the right “fit”? Do you share too much, too soon? Do you often feel feedback at work comes out of the blue?

It’s hard for adults with ADHD to read people and situations. Work, social life, communication, relationships – everything is affected by our interpersonal skills. Your ability to read a situation lets you assess what is expected, your role, other people’s intentions and motivations. And without it, you’re flying blind.

Drawing on material from her groundbreaking book, Why Will No One Play With Me?, Caroline Maguire, M.Ed., PCC, offered to create this one-of-a-kind webinar just for adults with ADHD. Maguire will reveal how you can improve crucial social skills like curbing oversharing, reading the room, noticing social cues and interpreting the context of a situation.

]]> When one or more family members struggles with ADHD or executive function challenges, it can feel like life is a big game of Whack-a-Mole. Even when some supports are in place, there can be constant disruptions to the family ecosystem. Depending on the degree of the dysfunction, siblings, parent and child, and marital relationships can be severely strained and possibly reach a critical breakpoint if not addressed.

It is at this point, that the stressors may lead to maladaptive quick fixes or an inability to see any clear paths to cleaning up the mess that represents family life.

]]> Melt down – it can seem to come out of nowhere. It’s one of the challenging or explosive behaviours we can see in our ADHD spouse, child, sibling, self or friend. Sometimes behaviours are shown as as poor self-esteem, yelling, rage or tears. Behaviours may also be very subtle and go unnoticed or worse still, diagnosed and treated as something else, such as anxiety disorder or depression.

The Connect ADHD Volcano model has been developed to explain and understand these challenging and explosive and sometimes hidden behaviours. It is a key educational piece that clearly represents the relationship between observable behaviours, diagnosis and the underlying factors of executive function skills development, and how brain chemistry impacts all of the above.

This webinar clarifies these underlying challenging or explosive behaviours. We talk through “What are the core symptoms ” and how these fit in with Executive functions.

Learning Objectives:

– Understand the role of executive functions in behaviours in people with ADHD

– Discuss the role of not only medication, but other factors impacting brain chemistry.

– Identify other co-existing conditions that travel alongside ADHD

]]> Procrastivity is a specific type of procrastination in which priority tasks are avoided by engaging in other tasks that themselves are productive and necessary, but which end up being self-defeating because they divert time, effort, and energy from priority tasks. Thus, adults with ADHD may be busy all day but not feel productive on the most important endeavors. However, there are many useful lessons learned from procrastivity that can help increase follow through on priority tasks, including better understanding of the core cognitive themes or thinking styles in adult ADHD. These lessons reflect a foundation of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for adult ADHD, with an emphasis on the implementation of various coping strategies, behavior plans, and other efforts that require turning intentions into actions, which will be reviewed in the webinar.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to define procrastivity.
• Participants will be able to cite the central cognitive theme in adult ADHD, as proposed by Dr. Ramsay
• Participants will be able to identify at least one implementation-focused strategy to use in their professional work or personal lives.

]]> Adults with ADHD are creative, passionate, resilient and more. Big challenges don’t faze us. It’s the simple things that trip us up.

It’s hard to take over the world if you can’t get out of your pajamas. “Being late” is synonymous with ADHD. Corporate America wants our creativity and energy. But it’s a rare workplace forgiving enough to let you waltz whenever you manage to get your act together.

Getting from your bed to your job requires a complex series of tasks. You know what they are and you know how to do them. You vow to get organized. You search for tools and strategies to manage your time. You download apps, create task lists, set alerts and more. It may even work… at first. But what works for everyone else won’t work for long when you have ADHD. Soon you don’t even hear the alerts.

The post From Rumination to Illumination: An ADHD Coach Approach – with David Giwerc appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> The adult ADHD brain typically detects and takes in negative information faster than positive information. Research also suggests that the ADHD brain is drawn to bad news. It becomes like a magnet for negative experiences and must learn to deflect the negative messages or can manifest in ruminative (immobilizing negative hyperfocus) thinking.

The ADHD coaching process focuses on preventing rumination through illumination by mirroring back the hidden light of what’s best in their clients; their successes, strengths and natural sources of motivation. ADHD coaches not only focus on performance-oriented strengths. They also notice and validate the client’s character strengths, which are the personality ingredients that comprise who they genuinely are.

Most important of all, I’d like to share some approaches to the art and practice of prioritizing, given the way your ADHD brain works best.

]]> Prioritizing isn’t about finding the perfect tool or strategy to help you get your life in order. It’s about finding a good enough approach, and it’s about developing a habit.

The post Forming and Changing Habits for Those with ADHD: What You Need to Know – with Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Many with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a love/hate relationship with habits and routines. On one hand these habits and routines provide structure, consistency, stability, and conformity in a sometimes chaotic life; on the other hand, they can be restrictive, confining, and boring. One thing is for sure. The self-help section of the book store, as well as schools, business, and society, all emphasize the establishment of and need for consistency, routines, and the formation of habits. Easy enough for those with ADHD; right? Wrong! If it were easy for those with ADHD to form or change habits, they would have done it by now.

In this presentation we will take an in-depth look at ADHD, its nature, and the forming and changing of habits. We will examine why it can be more difficult for those with ADHD to change habits, why they procrastinate around forming habits, and why they might not be able to adopt a new organizational structure that promises to help them become better organized and improve efficiency.

With new awareness of the challenges inherent in forming and changing habits for those with ADHD, we discuss key things to consider when attempting to adopt or change a habit. We look at key environmental factors that can improve the chances of success, as well as a reasonable expectation of what can be done in this area.

If you have ADHD and find yourself procrastinating around establishing or changing habits, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.

The post Beyond the Label: Put ADHD in its place and blaze a path to the life you deserve – with Linda Roggli, PCC appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> I hear you. You hate being defined by a label. After all, you’re a maverick; no mere acronym can fully reflect your brilliance and creativity. You are more than your ADHD. A lot more.

But there’s that little problem of procrastination. Or spending money impulsively. Or getting to work on time. Or finishing … anything.

So ADHD impacts your life, whether or not you acknowledge it. The trick is to hang on to your dreams while you reconcile with your ADHD. And that’s not easy out there on the range, riding solo through the barbs and burrs of snide remarks and disbelievers.

That’s why it’s a relief to gather with other folks who “get it.” There is reassurance and validation from knowing you are not alone. Even more than that, when you finally come to grips with your own special cocktail of ADHD, you can let the label fade into the background as a “new normal.”

]]> It has long been known that having ADHD means having executive function deficits which translate into poor organization skills, poor working memory, poor time management, lack of prioritization, and inability to initiate action and stay on task. Often there are poor communication skills and possible emotional ups and downs. So often families tell me how much ADHD has adversely affected their family life and how challenging it is having a family member with ADHD.

]]> It has been 20 years since the presenter’s book Women with ADHD was first published. During the last 20 years many more women with ADHD who didn’t match the previous stereotype of a hyperactive little boy, have become diagnosed and treated. More than that however, starting 20 years ago and continuing today( as in this webinar) women began to talk to each other on the internet and began to define for themselves what their experience of living with the challenges of ADHD are like. They began connecting with each other, finding their own voices in a way that influenced the field of ADHD but also most importantly in their own lives. This webinar will reflect what Sari Solden has learned in the last 25 years of counseling women with these gifts, challenges, and differences.

]]> In order to create a life full of purpose, passion and possibilities , you have a responsibility to identify what’s best in you. As an adult with ADHD, you DO possess a set of unique strengths– your character strengths. They are the positive, stable qualities of your innate character and personality. When you don’t express them your energy is diminished.

Your character strengths are the inspiring sources of energy which fuel both your heart and head to create your best life. If you are not aware of these wellsprings of positive energy and are focused on living your life based on stories, beliefs and standards which focus on your weaknesses, your ability access your brain’s executive functions will be significantly diminished.

The post The Top 5 Productivity Strategies Recommended by Gurus, and Why They’re Completely Wrong for You – with Linda Walker appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Adults with ADHD are always looking for new ways to be more effective and productive in their lives. Unfortunately, when you fall into the trap of listening to productivity gurus’ strategies, you often discover they don’t work! No matter how you try to adopt them into your life, they fail miserably. Before long, you think it’s your fault! You think you must be “broken” because whatever a guru recommends must be right, right?

The truth is that while these strategies work for some (and maybe most) neurotypicals, they don’t work for you. You, and other adults with ADHD, have a different brain wiring that actually turns these strategies into traps! Imagine, strategies that should make you more productive actually reduce your effectiveness and productivity!

In this session, we’ll explore the top 5 strategies that are supposed to improve your productivity, we’ll discuss why they’re completely wrong for you, and we’ll reveal what will actually work instead.

The post Special Challenges Women with ADHD Face – with Terry Matlen, ACSW appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Women have a lot on their plate: they still tend to take on more of the childcare and home responsibilities, often while working full time. “Keeping it all together” can be difficult for any woman, but for a woman with ADHD, it can be overwhelming, causing poor self-esteem, anxiety and depression. To make things even more complicated, changes in hormones typically cause an increase in ADHD symptomatology, making these women feel even more stressed out.

Women with ADHD also tend to hide their difficulties and rarely reach out for help. Society has taught girls from an early age to be the caregivers and to keep a tidy home with well behaved children. But when ADHD is in the picture, it can be difficult to manage all of the expectations set forth by society and a woman’s own unrealistic expectations.

This casual Q/A session will explore the many special challenges women with ADHD face and what they can do to make their lives easier and less stressful.

This presentation will go beyond all the basic strategies and take a deeper look at the science of time awareness and time management so that attendees can really understand why time is such a struggle for those with ADHD. We will discuss the concepts of time horizon and temporal discounting to provide a foundation to understand why some strategies work better. These strategies will help those with ADHD to see time more effectively by externalizing it and then feel time more effectively by building motivation to act towards the future.

]]> If you’re living with ADHD, you have a special relationship with overwhelm. You know what it’s like to sit deep under the mountain of commitments and promises and clutter and shame, holding out hope for the magic solution that will make it all better. There is no magic solution. But there is hope. To get organized with ADHD, you first have to put on your miner’s helmet and turn on the light! You have to learn to dig, to sift out the gold, and discard the rest, all in an effort to simplify your lifestyle, and organize your most important spaces free of shame, judgement, and doubt. Have you run into some of these roadblocks yourself?

* Not sure how to sort your things clearly and easily?
* Not sure what to keep, but feeling guilty around letting things go?
* Overwhelmed by the prospect of all the change ahead, so you avoid the work all together?

You’re not alone.

I’m serious about helping you get started. While you are listening to me, you might approach something you’ve been meaning to get to, such as (cautiously) cleaning out the spider web in your old guitar. If you are away, or otherwise occupied, (I’m pretty sure you aren’t sitting still for this), I hope to offer you a surplus of ideas possibly including some you haven’t already tried. This presentation will be less theoretical than practical. Because, as you probably know, “ADHD isn’t a disorder of not knowing what to do. It’s a disorder of not doing what we know.” Russell Barkley, PhD (I think.)

However, the emotional feelings experienced with ADHD are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked yet account for pivotal ADHD challenges in daily life.

]]> Almost half of people with ADHD also have a learning disability. The majority of learning disabilities are reading disorders, such as dyslexia. It can be difficult to properly diagnose either ADHD or dyslexia if one has already been diagnosed with one of these conditions. Many times dyslexia is not identified, since reading issues become attributed solely to ADHD. Research shows that having both ADHD and dyslexia clinically presents differently than just having one of these issues. This presentation will focus on the genetic, biological, and neuropsychological similarities and differences between the two. Proper assessment is essential since not recognizing one disorder makes treatment very difficult. How ADHD and dyslexia present throughout the lifespan will be discussed, as well as strategic treatment interventions and recommendations for academic accommodations.

The post Negative Thinking and Adult ADHD: Research and Treatment – with J. Russell Ramsay, Ph.D. appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Cognitive behavioral therapy or “CBT” is considered the second evidence-supported treatment for adult ADHD, alongside of pharmacotherapy. Treatment with medications provides important symptom relief for a majority of ADHD adults. However, even with improved symptoms, many adults continue to struggle with impairments in various life roles. CBT targets these impairments and associated difficulties related to procrastination, disorganization, poor time management, and various other problems that are characteristic of adult ADHD. In fact, skills-based behavior change has been noted as the main contributor to the positive treatment outcomes reported in clinical research on CBT for adult ADHD, with some observers noting that cognitive interventions are only necessary in cases of depression or anxiety. However, emerging research indicates that cognitive distortions play a distinct and important role in adult ADHD and, in turn, cognitive interventions are similarly important to optimize treatment response and functional outcomes.

This webinar will include a review of this new research on cognitive distortions, how it supports the CBT conceptualization of adult ADHD, and how it informs treatment and efforts to change.

Alcoholism, Addiction and ADHD are all genetic and highly heritable; the risk factors associated with each can be staggering. So, what’s next for adults who’ve finally received the correct diagnosis (ADHD) and have made the decision to get clean and sober? How do people in recovery manage ADHD treatment options? What can they do to break the family cycle? And how can they heal going forward? We’ll discuss the powerful connections between Substance Use Disorder and undiagnosed ADHD and explore what we can do to make a difference.

Research shows people with ADHD prone to an array of health concerns, from being overweight to eating disorders, and from difficulty settling for sleep to true sleep disorders. They are more likely to have driving accidents, smoke, drink underage and struggle with substance abuse. On the other hand, various activities that help manage ADHD, like consistent sleep, exercise or practicing mindfulness, are often difficult to maintain with ADHD. By recognizing these broad effects, parents of children with ADHD and adults with ADHD can better address its impact on their lives, and proactively plan for the future.

The post Articulating ADHD: Bridging the ADHD Awareness Gap – with Cameron Gott, PCC appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> We all want positive change and we all want to live a life full of meaning. Yet the ADHD experience can inhibit the change process disrupting the ability to create new awareness and develop new habits. Positive change can only happen when what needs to change is identified and effectively engaged. To do so we need a way to illuminate the ADHD awareness gap and get curious about the breakdowns we experience and build bridges to close the gap. ADHD is, in part, a mechanical challenge affecting regulation, control and management. Viewing ADHD challenges through a process-rich lens can help individuals understand the mechanical nature of the disorder. Articulating ADHD is an important early step in the change process to explore and identify how ADHD manifests itself for the ADHD individual. ADHD coach, trainer and blogger Cameron Gott weaves personal story, humor and proven coaching techniques to illustrate this process of building awareness to better effective engagement.

• Learn how ADHD is mechanical in nature
• Understand the nature of the ADHD awareness gap

We’ll examine the impact boredom has on productivity and work quality at the office, at school, and at home. We’ll even touch on the impact it has on substance abuse.

Once attendees begin to have a fresh awareness of the effects of boredom, we’ll take a look at boredom’s impact on the coaching relationship and the effectiveness of coaching individuals who are bored. We will discuss the challenges of coaching those who are just plain bored and offer real world examples of how to recognize and deal with this dynamic that often negatively impacts coaching.

Frequently, coaches are focused on behavior, labels, or outcomes. This presentation will enlighten attendees on the profound role boredom has on the growth of those we serve. In the end, participants will be able to witness the elephant in the room.

The post Driven by Boredom and Its impact on Those with ADHD with Jeff Copper appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

]]> Nobody likes being bored – standing in line, sitting through a tiresome lecture, or being stuck in traffic. But for someone with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), those common situations can test one’s patience, especially for those who refuse to be bored! So much so that it can often get them into trouble. Boredom can best be described in terms of attention, and while boredom is associated with a lack of arousal and motivation, there is no universally accepted definition of it. Some are more likely to suffer from it than others.

Given boredom’s close association with attention, it isn’t surprising that individuals with ADHD have a higher propensity for boredom. This can manifest itself into self-regulation challenges commonly referred to as impulsivity, distractibility, and procrastination as a means to free oneself of the possibility of being bored. For example, a man with ADHD who is bored might find himself picking a fight with his wife just to get a reaction.
