Tip of the Iceberg

ADHD coaching can help with the day to day struggles of ADHD like staying organized, keeping on task, reaching your short and long term goals and developing strategies for handling the challenges of  ADHD. All of this though is only the tip of the iceberg. Think of an iceberg floating along in the Arctic. Only a small portion of it is above the ocean's surface. The vast majority is hidden under the water. This is how I think of the feelings and lifelong effects of ADHD. What one sees are the behaviors and day to day challenges but hidden are the myriad of emotions and psychological effects of ADHD. Years of being called lazy or feeling stupid, not knowing why you can't do what others can. Blurting out or acting impulsively. All of this can cause  shame, frustration, depression, perfectionism, sadness, anxiety, poor self esteem and and many more difficult feelings that are part of ADHD.
Being a psychotherapist as well as a life coach, I can help with the emotional and psychological challenges of ADHD. It is as important to treat these issues as it is to develop strategies for the cognitive and behavioral aspects of ADHD. The result is feeling lighter, unburdened and floating higher on the surface of your life!
