Got ADHD? Are you focused on trying to establish good habits to manage your ADHD? Have you noticed that you have been trying for a long time and it doesn't always work? In this video, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (digcoaching.com) talks about habits and gives a vivid example of how often it doesn't work because it doesn't address the underlying root cause. While the example given in the video is a metaphor, it plays out in your life more than you can imagine. So, the idea here is to get some insights. If the obvious solution isn't working, chances are you're paying attention to the wrong thing. You might consider looking at root cause analysis.

excellent!
In my head i thought if i establish the routine I'll just figure it out eventually but yeah this makes sense
The ADHD challenge is problem solving when something is multi facited and ambigous. Scheduling thats in some form that would be a routine looks good on paper but it doesn't solve for the underlying problem. From my experience that is why many people struggle. The routine doesn't do the thinking... in other words you have to address the root cause not just the symptoms.
thanks for posting.
Makes a lot of sense...
Thank you and thanks for tuning in.
Ive been living with adhd and have no idea what to even do with myself I have the worst coping skills
ADHD isn't really a D.I.Y. project for most. Books and video are great of education. That said, i read a few books on how to play the guitar. When i pick up the guitar i couldn't play it. I hacked around for a period of time and then got lessons... it really accelearted things.
Hope that is food for thought for you.
thanks for taking the time to post.
Can you do videos for recovering from being in a deep freeze state with adhd? I’ve had a very hard 2 years where I became very disregulated and quit frankly traumatized from certain life events. I almost lost it all. How can someone recover from this and get themselves back into stability and routine. And maybe a video for cope healthily thru tough life situations with adhd without losing control of the wheel and letting everything fall apart? Thank you!
thanks for your request. My mother has said many times, success solves a lot of problems. As a coach my focus is to help people understand what works and to encourage them to do what works.
The get over the emotional trama has two parts. One is the act of regulating your emotions to regulate attention (that relates back to what i wrote). The other is to accept where you are and be good with that. That isn't really what I do or know a lot about. Often a thearpist is the direction to go.
Again, thanks for the request... sorry i don't have a magic wand.
I was in that stage about 4 years ago. First thing is getting into a support group. For me it was 12 steps based. Just for support and a pattern to be held accountable for. Al-Anon is for people with craziness AND. an alcoholic in your family. That's all you need to join. Codependency Anonymous is for anyone who is attached unhealthily to others, which can hold you in this freeze state.
Support first, a circle of support, or just deep friends.
2. make a note to self of what you admit is the underlying issue then pay for professional help or find someone who can probono. This also helps in that support category. Then understand you aren't a bad person, have had legit issues you had nothing to do with or if you did have something to do with it, just realize you're understanding more now and did the best with what you could with what you knew. That's all now
I can relate from being on a socially unpopular side of certain world wide life events of the last few years. I lost my will to live during it and, with the adhd, its been really hard to find any energy for the life I had before or the future ahead. It feels pretty empty. I suppose the only benefit is now I can see a more bare bones view of my dysfunction, no longer clouded in dreams. That sounds like a bad thing but in the past I was mostly a dreamer of success, less a doer, so it wasnt very satisfying either. But here I am, still mired in the adhd but its probably the only thing I have any hope of controlling or at least channeling into its least destructive path.
@@lagomorphia9 I'm not a mental health expert... i'm just a trained life coach specializing in ADHD. If i take my coaching hat off at times people need to kind of hit bottom to get a kind of a wake up call... reality check. May things can happen, they let go of limiting beliefs, unrealistic expectations, or misconceptions... this actually free's them from what has held them back. My hope is you'll deal with... it is what it is... and problem solve from there. Fingers are crossed for you. thank for posting.
@@lagomorphia9 That is exactly how it feels. Becoming an adult all it took was one decision for me that caused everything to spiral and in that it really became clear to me just how much I struggle and idk if I will ever have the mental strength or capacity to be the person I thought I’d be. It is hard to overcome that feeling. Or feel hope again or dream again. I was a big dreamer as a young woman but enough life has really beat me down and I am extremely sensitive too… I hope for all of us that we overcome the struggles we have with adhd and find fulfillment in our life like everyone else. I know that struggle too well now.
