ADHD and Conflict between Beliefs and Self-Awareness

In simple terms how our mind is set up to think is a mindset. Mindsets are efficient ways to filter our world. The problem is mindsets often obstruct our ability to see the obvious and to gain self-awareness. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) talks with ADHD coach Andrew Avery (www.adhdtraction.com) to illustrate the conflict between beliefs and self-awareness by looking at the character Maria in the movie, “The Sound of Music.” The goal is to share insights to open your mind to self-awareness, its power, and relate it to the ADHD experience to help you move forward.
