ADHD Focus with David Pomeroy, MD

How are you sabotaging yourself in dealing with ADHD?  And you are, all of us with ADHD are doing it. Maybe you are working on organization, time management, getting things done. BUT if those are the only strategies you are using to deal with your ADHD you are missing the essential basics, the foundation which makes the strategies work.

My guest today is Jeff Copper, ADHD Coach extraordinaire, host of the podcast ASDF on attentiontalkradio, blogger, the mind and energy behind DigCoaching.  We discuss how you can break these habits which are holding you back, developing awareness of your choices about sleep, about diet, about intentional physical activity (aka exercise), your emotions, how you spend your time, about your life. We do not have to surrender our choices to outside influences nor to our past.  Listen and learn!

Jeff has a different perspective on coaching, learn about his coaching practice  DIG Coaching  on his website digcoaching.com and his ideas on his podcast on attentiontalkradio.

[Jeff and I give massive credit to Alan Brown, the force behind Crusher TV, for the initial material on this topic which he presented years ago. Alan’s podcast detailing the brain hacks for “Top Ten things you are doing wrong for ADHD” is http://tobtr.com/6809403 ]

Yeah, I know. “Future? I have a tough time keeping me in line with tomorrow much less years away.” “Future? I’ll deal with it when I get there.  And don’t you DARE say the word “plan”! That’s a dirty word!” 

Guess what? Even though you may not want to admit it, you do have at least a nebulous vision of what you would like to be doing 5,10,30 years from now – depending on whether you are 60, 50 or 30 years of age (or are 65 and think of yourself as 30 years of age!). How are you gonna get there? 

My guest is David DeWitt, a registered financial planner who resisted his ADHD diagnosis from High School until his “ADHD Awakening” in 2021 . He has since turned his life direction into helping ADHDers like you and I tackle the Mt. Everest of money management, planning for the future. Check out his podcast ADHD Money Talk and his website adhdmoneytalk.com.  Listen and learn!

“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 guest today is Dr. Tamara Rosier, an ADHD Coach and founder of the ADD Center of Western Michigan.

Why do people pick at their skin, pull out their hair, pop zits for fun? Is it part of ADHD? Can it become a part of someone’s ADHD? Can it be from ADHD medications?  Answers are in this show!

My guest is Roberto Olivardia, a psychologist in private practice in Lexington MA and lecturer at Harvard Medical School, and an expert in many of the conditions which accompany ADHD. Skin-picking, nose-picking, scab-pulling, pulling hairs out – all variations on the same thing: there exists a compulsion to do it and a feeling of relief after doing it.

Many aspects of the way the ADHD brain processes sensations and rewards make these behaviors easy for us to start unconsciously then they take on a life of their own. How does one stop the habit?  Listen up, the solutions are also in the show! Listen, and learn!

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!
