Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is considered a very common disorder in childhood. In fact, I’ve linked some great articles for an overview on ADHD (here and here). However, what happens when you become an adult? Does it suddenly go away?

For some, yes. For most, nope! So now what are you going to do? Higher education and the workplace often don’t feel quite as accommodating when it comes to ADHD. People may not understand you or why you talk too much/too fast. They may not get why you can’t actually sit still. Then you add in the layers of thoughts such as “I need to be still. I need to focus. I need to get this done.” It feels like a lot and it is a lot. And that’s not even getting started on home, friends, and other areas of life this has impacted.

I like to approach ADHD from a very practical standpoint. Let’s help you figure out what the problem areas are and come up with strategies and skills to help with those. These skills are not a one-size-fits-all. We may try some things that don’t work well for you and others that suddenly become a lifeline. 

From there, we get to dive into the deeper work. The work where you’ve formed stories and assumptions about yourself that aren’t usually nice. The negative thought patterns that we need to sit with and break apart. This can be uncomfortable trying to break years of habits you have formed, but it’s possible.
