ADHD IS REAL

​

An ADHD diagnosis is just the beginning!  Understanding and acceptance are critical to the process of living a fulfilling life with ADHD. That often includes educating partners and family members, taking more time for yourself and   reassessing expectations as well as discovering and placing a higher value on your gifts and talents.

​

 Did you know that people with ADHD often...

 

  • are not good self observers.

  • have rejection sensitivity dysphoria.

  •  get stuck on negative thoughts and have a hard time moving on.

  • struggle with adequately describing  symptoms to the doctor.

  • forget things in-between visits to the doctor.

  • become distracted and go off-topic in their time with the doctor.

  • do not understand what to pay attention to in order to help determine if medication is working.

  • resist mailing things.

  • have trouble finishing tasks requiring sustained focus, like writing long emails.

  • are highly sensitive.

  • are challenged with life balance and time, management making treatment plans difficult to follow.

  • have many more traits and symptoms that people without it do not have!

MY STORY

We all have a story to tell. Mine is, like yours, one that includes ADHD. Diagnosed in my late 30's, I set out to put into practice everything I could to be more productive. That research led to an eventual career helping others to understand, embrace and manage the "Lived Experience" of ADHD. 

​

My life today is about much more than being productive. Embracing my human "beingness" and giving it equal time to my human "doingness" has been the greatest gift of a career in life coaching. 

​

I am a lifelong learner, a mother, grandmother, wife, hobby writer and artist.  My dream for you is that you also know that you are much more than your diagnosis.

​

A cornerstone of being a Co-Active is seeing each client as

Creative Resourceful and Whole.

That would be you, if you are reading this!
