In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who had only a few more days to get her classroom set up before the school year started. She had been putting it off for a few weeks and was now feeling a lot of shame about not having done it earlier. I will share how, through the coaching process, we were able to uncover some of the reasons she kept procrastinating in the first place, the role ADHD played in that, and why it is so important to REALLY understand what ADHD is and how symptoms can affect you so that you aren't left just believing you are lazy or irresponsible or just need to try harder. We talked about how SO many people with ADHD tend to feel so much shame because other people don't understand why they struggle with certain things and they don't understand it themselves so they are left just believing there is something wrong with them. And being able to see this situation from a new perspective allowed my client to shift away from focusing on the past to addressing how she could find success moving forward.
Coaching is not JUST about figuring out how to move forward, that's part of it, but so much of it is about understanding your brain and learning to accept how it works instead of judging yourself in areas you struggle. THEN, you can actually find ways to support yourself, learn strategies that work with your brain instead of against it, and make a plan that works for YOU in order to move forward.
