Even the most insightful, solution-oriented people get stuck. What's worse is when the tools & strategies you've relied on for years no longer work for you.
Here's the short answer: sometimes, you can't intellectualize or think your way out. You need an integrated approach and this is what I offer:
1. Re-learning how your brain works now
2. Discovering how your body holds memory, its cues & how to release what no longer serves you
3. Uncovering the inherent wisdom at the core of you.
I work w/people who are late diagnosed w/ADHD, also w/ 'mixed' couples, where one partner has ADHD & the other is neurotypical. Many ADHDers struggle w/chronic illness or issues w/gender & sexual identity and I have multiple certifications; also a master's in gender history & master's in clinical & macro social work.
Truth time: I was late diagnosed w/ADHD and was underserved w/an auditory processing disorder. In some areas I excelled and others I felt utterly broken. My point is, I've been there. Your path is unique and I can't wait to hear what you have to say-and be of service to where you want to go.
