Psychotherapy and Coaching for Adults with ADHD and AuDHD

If you live with ADHD or AuDHD, you may know what it feels like when everything suddenly becomes overwhelming.

When it feels like too much is happening at once, the thinking and planning part of your brain can go offline, and automatic responses take over.

Those responses can pull you into patterns you don’t actually want. Habits that strain relationships, affect your health, and leave you feeling stuck.

Because these patterns happen so quickly and feel so familiar, it can start to seem as though they’re simply “who you are.”

Over time, anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness can begin to creep in. Compulsive coping strategies may start to take hold as you try to manage the overwhelm.

Just because something feels familiar doesn’t mean it has to become part of your identity.

Neuroscience is gradually uncovering how and why our automatic responses work the way they do. As we learn more, we are also discovering how to work with, rather than against, these intelligent and adaptive survival strategies, often integrating practices that people have used intuitively for generations.

What’s especially hopeful is that we now know the brain is capable of change at any age. With the right support and practice, automatic responses can begin to shift.

Here’s what I’ve found tends to help people move from insight to meaningful change.
