Executive Function Skill of Shifting – It’s Really Important to Master - 060


Listen Later

Hey ADDers! Do you have trouble “shifting” from your current task to the next task? Or maybe you have the opposite problem – where you are shifting way too quickly from thing to thing and leaving a trail of unfinished tasks in your wake. Even though most of the executive function assessments typically look at the behavioral stuff, like moving with ease from one situation, activity or aspect of a problem to another as the circumstances require, to me there is so much more to understanding Shifting than just the behavioral manifestations. What about Shifting your thoughts and feelings? By that I mean, do your thoughts and feelings seem to get stuck and just keep presenting you with the same stuff over and over again? Do you want to think or feel differently yet can’t seem to shift?

Living Beyond ADHD, a podcast hosted and produced by Dr B, explores why so many adults with ADHD or Executive Function challenges never get past their challenges and live beyond them.  That’s what Dr B's work in the world is really about, and she so want that for you, if you want that too.  You’ve heard her say many times that you are more than your ADHD; that you are a precious “human being” – even if the “human doing” part of you needs some work and tools.  By identifying the root cause issues, and addressing them, whether that means learning skills, strategies or facing and resolving long-standing problems, you can look to a future where you too are Living Beyond ADHD. 

In this episode Dr B talks about:

  • What is behavioral Shifting and how you can start to develop it
  • What is thinking Shifting and how you can start to develop it
  • What is emotional Shifting and how you can start to develop it
  • What is excessive Shifting and how you can start to reign that in
  • New Programs Coming Soon - Couples in Motion & ADDventures Companion
