Micromoments of Shame with Linda Roggli

Podcast Episode, Women and ADHD /

Micromoments of shame* – stepping over the box you were going to take upstairs as you go upstairs, passing by the unfolded laundry, discovering the clothes in the washer from two days ago…we have them daily. Maybe neurotypical folks do too, but ADHDers have many more every day. *this expression is not originally mine, a friend passed along a meme with that title. Apologies to the author, I do not know your name. Spot on concept.

Shame. The elephant in the room with ADHD, the feeling at the root of our familiar self-concept as “not good enough”. How it develops in people with ADHD and how we grow to believe and talk about ourselves in negative terms – a dummy, an idiot, a failure, incompetent, not good enough – join me and my guest Linda Roggli as we uncover the role of shame in the lives of people with ADHD. We have ADHD, it does not have to define us. Shame has us believing otherwise.

Linda Roggli a person I call a “thinker” in the field of ADHD, one who steps back and looks at the big picture, in her case also informed by her own ADHD (as is my perspective by my own ADHD).

She created the ADHD Palooza series starting in 2016 and now holds one for Women in the Spring (April 1-6, don’t miss it! Register https://fn101.isrefer.com/go/women24/pomeroy/ ) and one for Couples in the Fall, she is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) in the field of ADHD, an award-winning author – Confessions of an ADDiva – and founder of the A-D-Diva Network for ADHD women 40-and-better – www.addiva.net

Inattentive ADHD, the Stealth Diagnosis with Cynthia Hammer

Podcast Episode, Women and ADHD /

Inattentive ADHD, the Stealth Diagnosis. People with Inattentive ADHD tend to fly under the radar for years, decades even, women and girls more often (inadvertently) than men and boys. They are labeled as disorganized, always late, space case, overwhelmed and over-committed, the kid with no friends, the school dropout. After High School (almost half the kids with not treated for their ADHD drop out) life is even more of a struggle. How can these folks be identified earlier, so they can have the chance to climb up to the level of function of neurotypicals? Later-in-life diagnosis, in 30s, 40s, even 50s and beyond, results in lost opportunities and more mental health problems along the way, primarily anxiety disorders and depression.

My guest today is Cynthia Hammer MSW, founder of two non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of ADHDers everywhere, author of the recently published book Living with Inattentive ADHD: Climbing the Circular Staircase of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and a good friend of many years. Cynthia recently started the Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org ) to advocate for universal screening of children for ADHD, to identify and enable treatment of children with ADHD so they do not have lifelong struggles with ADHD, at least not so many and so severe as those diagnosed later in life.  Join us to enjoy a wide-ranging discussion about Inattentive ADHD, including debates on certain points. Which points? Listen and find out!

Podcast Episode /

Women with undiagnosed ADHD of either Type “pay” more for it than do men, this is the Female ADHD Tax.

Deborah Brooks is a psychotherapist in Ottawa, Canada. She joins me today to discuss The Female ADHD Tax, how it comes about and what can be done to “lower the tax rate”. Listen, and learn!

Girls on the Autism Spectrum — “the something else” with Elaine Taylor-Klaus

Parenting, Podcast Episode, Women and ADHD /

Do you feel that the treatments for your child’s ADHD and co-occurring Anxiety and/or Learning Disorders and/or Depression are not working for …something else but you don’t know what? That there are signs – behaviors, meltdowns, struggles with friends – that things are not yet OK, that something is being missed. You are totally spent by the end of each day, your house is a mess, you have given up seeing friends – in order that you can put 100% of your time and energy into helping your child. 

Maybe this is not your struggle, but you see this going on in a friend, or a relative, or a neighbor, or co-worker.

My guest today is Elaine Taylor-Klaus, founder of IMPACTparents, author of The Essential Guide to raising Complex Kids, Master Certified Coach, and parent to four neurodivergent children. Her experiences, personal and professional, have led her to believe that the “something else” for many girls (and women) is Autism Spectrum Disorder. 

Join us as we discuss the clues, the behaviors, the symptoms that suggest an evaluation for ASD is in order; the role that parents play and how critical it is that parents get coaching in how to parent these exceptional children, it is the single most-important thing they can do to help their child. Parents need validation, recognition that the difficulties they face every day are way beyond the norm of parenting challenges AND that they are not alone. Many families are in the same struggle.

Download Elaine’s article about these struggles, Parenting VERY Complex Kids: Underestimated, Undervalued & Underutilized . And a special bonus for listeners/viewers of ADHD Focus,  here is the link for you to download a free chapter of her book, “Everyone’s So Tense All The Time”.  Join us!  Listen, and Learn !

A Fresh Perspective on Executive Functions with Jeff Copper

Podcast Episode /

Why do we ADHDers (which includes myself) toss one task aside and choose to do another? Why are some of us usually arriving late to meetings, dates, dinner at home? What we call Procrastination and Poor Time Management may actually have foundations in a different aspect of ADHD, Self-awareness. The strategies for changing those symptoms/habits is different than other proposed solutions when seen through the lens of Self-awareness. 

My guest today is Jeff Copper, an ADHD Coach certified by both the International Coaching Federation and the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches. You can catch his programs on Attention Talk Radio and Attention Talk Video, as well as at www.digcoaching.com. Jeff founded his Dig Coaching Practice in 2007 to help clients with ADHD dig through the usual frames of reference for symptoms down to the foundational issues. When his clients have what Jeff terms the “Aha !” moment, they have gained a different perspective on the problem, which then enables them to approach it from a different angle.

Join us as we examine how you can make it easier to resume “the flow“of the thought process of doing one task when it has been interrupted by –  a noise/person with question/thoughts triggered by the details of the task/thoughts wandering to the weekend. Listen, and learn!

What is Asperger’s Syndrome Anyway? with Thomas Brown

Podcast Episode /

What is Asperger’s Syndrome anyway? Is it like autism? Can someone have ADHD and Asperger’s? How is that determined?  In this show Thomas Brown PhD and I discuss the answers to these questions and more. Dr. Brown is one of the pre-eminent clinicians and authorities in the field of ADHD and associated disorders, I am privileged to have him as my guest today. Dr. Brown has published 30 scientific journal articles and written seven books on ADHD over his career as a clinical psychologist specializing in the field of ADHD and co-occurring disorders. After serving on the clinical faculty of Yale Medical School for 25 years he recently relocated to Manhattan Beach, California, to open the Brown Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders. His latest book is ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome , which is the subject of our conversation today.  Dr. Brown can be reached at: BrownADHDclinic.com.

Outside the Box, Dr. Brown’s fifth book, is a comprehensive explanation of ADHD and how it intersects with its co-occurring disorders – Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Dysregulation, and time blindness to name a few. The latter two are not separate disorders but IMO they are the most impairing qualities of ADHD.  Read, listen, and learn!

Know Your ADHD Related Strengths with Kristin Swanson

Podcast Episode /

Welcome to the inaugural Video production of ADHD Focus, available on YouTube at ADHD Focus Kristin Swanson 32323.

And coming soon to Roku and Firestick!  The audio podcast of course remains available on most podcast channels.

Do you know your ADHD-related strengths? So many of the resources for ADHDers talk about strategies to address weaknesses in our ADHD function, “impairments” to work on, how to get ahead of our deficits. But we have strengths too, ways that our brains work which neurotypicals do not have.

Are you often frozen in perfectionism and/or shame which lead to one of the forms of procrastination? (*raises his hand…me*)

Can you recognize instances when boundaries on “want to” get in the way of “have to” and “need to” tasks/activities?

My guest today is Kristin Swanson, coach and consultant, expert in helping her clients how to get their “someday when I…” projects done. As a breast cancer survivor, Kristin learned the importance of getting out of one’s own way and how to stop waiting until “someday” to make a unique impact. Realizing deeply that “you only live once,” she has gained perspective, tools and strategies to overcome the illusions which fear instills in us.

Kristin earned a BA degree in business, received Co-Active Coaches Institute training, and has two decades of business leadership, strategy & operations experience.  Learn more at https://www.kristinswansonconsulting.com.
