ADHD & CHRONIC ILLNESS
Know your limits and develop personilized coping mechanisms.
You can live a productive and joyful life with the right tools and mindset.
Dealing with something chronic means a big adjustment to your expectations and routines. Realizing you have ADHD may help you understand why you’ve had trouble doing things that seem so easy to other people. However, combining that knowledge with new skillsets, mindsets, and expectations can set you on a new path to finally moving towards your goals and dreams.
Like ADHD, chronic illnesses impact every aspect of your life and can lead to feelings of isolation, fear, and anger. You don’t have to live with those feelings! We will work together to find fresh and authentic ways to embrace (yes, I said embrace!) your situation and move more fully towards your life again. Additionally, we can create effective coping strategies and action plans for managing everyday life even when you are managing flares or pain.
Your circumstances don’t determine your outcome. Period.
imagine if you could…
Love yourself no matter what
It’s easy to get down on yourself or your circumstances when you mess up or aren’t able to do the things that are important to you. We’ll gently explore shifting our compassion so that you can give yourself the support and love you need even when you feel like you don’t deserve it.
Be genuinly okay with your limitations
Living with ADHD and chronic illnesses comes with some limitations. But that’s actually okay. (If you aren’t sure why, let’s talk.) We’ll work on how you can take care of your needs and communicate that to others in a positive, non-reactive way.
Be productive
Making decisions when you feel completely overwhelmed or feel as though you don’t have much energy to spend can leave you even more exhausted. We can work on developing strategies so you make the most of your physical and mental energy.
Live a life you want
It’s easy to feel as though you can’t do the things that are important to you. We will work to align your values and goals with your realities so that you feel good about how your live your life and goals you are working towards.
