“I am just not motivated. Maybe my meds need to be adjusted.” “I do many things every day but not the ones I know I need to do”. “Why can’t I get going on school work/that big project/my taxes?” Motivation, energy to get started and then actually starting, is a BIG issue in ADHD. My […]

Join Dr. David Pomeroy for the second show about life before and life after the diagnosis of ADHD and starting treatment, the stories of 2 people whose lives turned around . In the previous show you heard how Alyxx went from dissatisfaction with their job yet thinking they could not do anything else to creating a therapy practice and managing it as well as their personal life with great success. In this show we hear from Aron, a"life failure by age 32" who had lost 7 jobs, was divorced and broke, a man transformed by treatment of his ADHD into an ADHD Coach, frequent webinar host and guest, change management consultant, and founder of hiddenadd.com. Listen and learn!

What is it like going from struggling but not knowing why to discovering why so much of your life didn't go well to success in so many ways? If you have ADHD and know it, many of these shows will be familiar. If you think you may have ADHD and the journeys of the 2 people presented in the next 2 shows sound familiar, all too familiar, see an expert for an evaluation. Starting treatment for your ADHD will (with high probability, like 90%) change your life. 



This is the first of two shows about two people and their lives before and after their ADHD diagnosis and treatment. One is an ADHD Coach and man with a passion for helping everyone (yes even neurotypicals) understand ADHD  and those with ADHD to succeed in life. The other is a patient of mine, a woman whose life turned around when she decided to treat her ADHD, a diagnosis made when she was a child but whose parents "did not want me to take speed". (myth often held by neurotypicals, prescription stimulants are like street drugs and will ruin your life. WRONG.)



Join me in getting an inside look at how 2 lives changed with diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of the challenges of having ADHD. The first show features my patient Alyxx (they/them). How are they meeting those challenges  now?  Listen and learn!

This is the final installment of my series with Elaine Taylor-Klaus on raising complex kids (aren’t they all? Yes) especially those with ADHD, Anxiety and More (and sometimes both of those and others).



Our discussion continues on the 4 Phases of parenting roles – Director, Collaborator, Supporter and Advisor/Champion – as they apply to children at the different stages of their emotional, social and academic development. If you missed any of the previous 3 shows you can catch up with them here or at targetingadhd.com. Listen and Learn!

Would you like to change how life happens in your home, reduce frustrations, change the emotional tone of family interactions?  Parenting is difficult and the path to making constructive changes can be hard to find.



Elaine Taylor-Klaus returns for this show and the next as we move through the ways to do exactly that. Elaine is a parent of 3 kids with ADHD, an adult with ADHD (as is her husband), a Parent Coach, and the author of The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids with ADHD, Anxiety and More.  In the last 2 episodes we discussed the 6 steps of the IMPACT model of parenting, in this and the next episode we talk through the Four Phases of the Parent-coach role as they apply to parent-child relationships at different developmental stages of childhood. Raising your child to become an independent confident young adult is the goal of every parent. This series of 4 shows gives you the blueprint for how to do it. Listen and Learn!

My guest today is Kate Moryoussef, a well-being/ADHD coach who lives in the UK and thanks totechnology for online meetings has clients around the world. She outlined her “8 Rules of Wellbeing: An Aid Kit for Women with ADHD” in a guest blog in ADDitude magazine which includes many methods you probably know about and someyou may not.

Rejoin Elaine Taylor-Klaus and I as we continue our discussion of the IMPACT model of collaborative parenting, a powerful way to reach a primary goal of parenting, guiding your child to independence in self-management by their late teens. We take an in-depth look at applying the model at each stage of of a child’s emotional and intellectual development as a parent advances from the role of Director to Guide then Supporter and finally Advisor and Cheerleader. The task at hand: homework. Always a challenge. 



Elaine’s book The Essential Guide to Raising Complex Kids takes you through the steps of the IMPACT model in detail.   Listen and learn!
