The ADHD Lizard Brain: Preyed Upon by All

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn’t a deficit of attention but rather a self-regulation issue. It challenges those with ADHD because they must effortfully engage the executive functioning brain to override the automatic brain, the primitive brain, the “lizard brain” as marketers call it. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Alan Brown, advertising executive with ADHD and the founder of ADD Crusher (http://addcrusher.com) and CrusherTV (http://crushertv.com). They discuss ADHD and how your lizard brain falls prey, hunted by politicians, the media, and corporate America and how each exploits your self-regulation challenges for their own self-interests, including how they hijack your amygdala and control your decisions in a programmed way, selling you what doesn’t work and then selling it to you again and again and again. Most importantly, they share brain hacks and attention exercises to reclaim control and tame your lizard brain. If you often get buyer’s remorse, make decisions impulsively, or wonder how you get into such messes, this is the show that could change your future.

What should you do if you have ADHD? The answer is often revealed by understanding who you are. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews master certified coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com). Jeff identifies what he attends to when he’s coaching people to help them understand who they are and what they are all about.

ADHD and Mindsets: Most Don’t Get It

Shifting your mindset is a common denominator of those who have successfully managed their ADHD or others who have successfully supported them. If that is true, then why do so many people say they get it, but yet, no progress is made. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) and ADHD parent coach Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) discuss and deconstruct mindsets, mind shifts, and share examples of how people think they get it when they don’t. In their conversation they illuminate that the mind shift is not a one-time deal. It happens over time as one has to disprove the old way of thinking and find evidence to prove the new mindset in order for them to adopt it. If you are struggling with ADHD and have not found what works, this is a show that might help you shift the way you pay attention to things.

Coaching Those Desperate for ADHD Solutions

Coaching can be difficult to understand. Often those with ADHD are desperate for answers. They’re looking to be pointed in the direction of solutions in a simple fashion. In the end, it doesn’t work that way. Simple and desperate are just concepts that don’t work together. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, our guest Dr. Kirsten Milliken (http://playdhd.com), amazingly articulates some of the challenges of understanding ADHD and why it works, but we also hear her experience and the power of it.

Magnets, Self-Regulation, and ADHD: What a Metaphor

ADHD can easily be thought of as a magnet. It’s either attracted to something or repels something. In this context, we begin to understand the challenges of self-regulation. The magnet is a magnet; you can’t change its forces. How do you work with it? ADHD is ADHD; you can’t change the biology. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) and Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) discuss using magnets as a metaphor to observe ADHD behavior and transition to just how one can use the concept of a magnet to work with it and not against it.
