Two Key Pieces
My coaching offers two essential pillars: practical executive function support and strategic self-compassion.
Executive Function Support
Executive function (EF) skills are your "get it done" skills and they help you manage life. With ADHD, it's common to struggle with these. It's not because you don't care, are lazy, or aren't trying hard enough. The space between knowing and doing is a skill gap. It's not a lack of intelligence or character flaw. Strengthening EF skills and adapting your life to support them helps you take action and make the changes you care about.
Strategic Self-Compassion
Self compassion isn't kindness, it's strategy. Approaching challenges with non-judgment and curiosity helps you discover out of the box solutions. Self criticism blocks solutions. It triggers blame, shuts down creativity, and offers useless "answers" like try harder or be better. Don't worry if you're not good at this yet- it's a skill you can strengthen.
This Combo Unlocks Change.
EF advice focused on only the mechanics of getting things done without self-compassion lacks nuance and is often too rigid to work for you long term.
Self-compassion without EF tools can leave you without what you need to navigate a world that's designed for neurotypical brains.
