New Episode Out: Tree of Life with Michelle Raz

News /

Visualize a tree, with roots, trunk and branches all visible. This is your Tree, your life past and present, ready to grow more branches, the ideas and plans and things you create with your life. The roots are the experiences you have had in your life, some good, some not so good; what have you learned from them? How have they shaped who you are today? They are the foundation for your core beliefs/passions/values, which are the trunk of the tree. The branches are the directions your life has taken with new ones growing all the time as new ideas develop into plans, new experiences give rise to new ideas…you get the idea.

Join Michelle Raz, of RazCoaching, and I as we examine how this Tree of Life concept works. Learn how it can give shape and substance to our neurospicy ADHD lives, how you can harness the power and the vision of the Tree of (your) LIfe to shape your life into one that matches your core self and enables you to grow. Listen and Learn!

New Episode Out: Murderers of Motivation

News /

“Just can’t get started“. “I did a bunch of things on my To-Do list…not the important ones but I got a lot done”. “I’m exhausted, can’t do another thing! (5pm)”. Does this sound like you? Join the crowd! At least 8 out 10 of us with ADHD (my guesstimate, probably more than that) have said that more than once. What gets in our way? Why is it so hard to get going on things we know have to get done? 

The answers are in Your Brain’s Not Broken, the chapter on the Murderers of Motivation. My guest in this episode is its author, Tamara Rosier Ph.D, an ADHD coach in Michigan with a wider professional background than that description might suggest; she brings the personal perspective of one with lived experience in ADHD to her work (as do I). We explore how these murderers of our best intentions derive from the processes of the ADHD mind which are different from “the other 96 percent”. Best of all, Dr. Rosier explains the Solve-It Grid, her model of how to prevent the workings of our ADHD minds from grabbing us, and how to balance our energy and focus over the day/week/month. Join us! Listen and learn!

New Episode Out: Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome

News /

Daydreaming. Spacing out. Moving slowly, takes a long time to do anything. Always tired, even if they got a good night’s sleep. They can focus, get chores and homework done, it just takes them such a long time. This is a description of a child with Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome, CDS (formerly known as Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). People with ADHD Inattentive Type can also have CDS, but not all of them do. And not all folks with CDS have ADHD either. 

My guest today is Dr. Joseph Fredrick, a psychologist and head of the CDS Program of the Center for ADHD at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Join us as we explore all aspects of CDS, from diagnosis to treatment. How would a parent, teacher, or clinician identify the child with CDS? What can be done about it? (Hint – a good sleep routine to allow 8 hours of solid sleep is the first step! ). Listen (and watch if you can) to get the answers. Listen and learn!
