ADHD Emotions Track
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia at a very young age, I am all too familiar with the accompanying anxiety, confusion, impulsivity, rejection sensitivity and low self-esteem marked by these challenges. The struggle extends beyond the classroom as you battle yourself to just feel “normal.”
Years of feeling as though you just can’t keep up and you are just “too sensitive,” leave you with a defeatist mindset and a belief that you are just meant to fail, while your counterparts seemingly live lives of self-discipline, emotional balance and proficient time management skills.
Throughout my personal journey, cultivating self-awareness, building a deep sense of inner safety, understanding what my unique journey of self-care looks like, how to develop intimacy with God, educating myself on the impact of stimuli, learning how to navigate self-sabotage, anxiety and rejection sensitivity, emotional dysregulation, building nutrition literacy and a movement practice, my path started to shift in the direction I had always dreamed about.
My goal is to help you create a new foundation after years of emotional turmoil due to untreated or undertreated ADHD. We will work on creating balance, highlighting your strengths, and understanding your pitfalls. We will do a deep dive into your emotional pitfalls, how you may be self-sabotaging, self-esteem struggles, relational instabilities and so much more. After fully understanding what is getting in your way and why it is getting in your way, you will start to develop new tools, new coping strategies, and a new perspective. Get ready to live a life that is more focused, centered, and less dictated by emotional whims. I believe you are meant for greatness!
