Monday Morning ADHD Coaching
I'm Emily Weinberg and I'm a certified ADHD coach. I support adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and not in control of their own lives. Unfortunately there are many barriers in the way of making ADHD coaching accessible to everyone and so this podcast is intended to give you, the listener, some of that access. Each episode will provide an inside look at what can happen within a coaching session. I will do this by sharing a summary each week from a session I've had with a client. My hope is that you will not only feel less alone in your own struggles, but that you will also come away with new insights and awareness you can apply to your own life and learn ways you can support your ADHD.

Episode 7: Why Can't I Put These Boxes Away?
In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was really frustrated with himself for letting all of his packages pile up and take over his living room. I will share how, through the coaching process, we uncovered how his thoughts about how he shouldn't have bought so much as well as his frustration that this is so hard for him was really holding him back from from tackling these boxes. I'll talk about impulse buying and why it's is so common amongst people with ADHD as well as why we tend to wait until things are urgent in order to get something done.
You'll see how this client was able to become aware of the shame avoidance cycle he was currently in as he got a better understanding of what was causing that. And once we addressed that barrier THEN we were able to figure out what support he needed and what strategies would be helpful to him in moving towards his goal. If you are someone who feels unable to tackle certain projects, even projects you WANT to do, then hopefully this episode will help you see some of the reasons why and what you can do to support yourself.
