ADHD: You’re Not Always Wrong

Those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder struggle. Time and time again, others point out things that they’re doing wrong. This conditions them over a period of time to immediately think it’s their fault and start with “I’m sorry.” In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) discusses the topic with Elaine Taylor-Klaus (www.impactparents.com/attention) who coaches parents of complex kids. The two will talk about how “I’m sorry, I’m wrong” becomes a compensatory strategy to take the pressure off. It’s good to relieve the pressure, but when they start believing it, then it keeps them from moving forward. If you’ve got ADHD and often find yourself saying “I’m sorry,” this is a show you won’t want to miss.
