Translating ADHD episodes:

January 20, 2020ADHD and Sense of Self
This week Cam and Shelly continue the conversation around ADHD and negative self talk by exploring how we have each shifted in this area over time. We each discuss a recent scenario in which ADHD caught us off guard, what the consequences were, and how we were able to manage both the situation at hand and our ADHD tendencies. We then reflect on what might have gone differently prior to having done the understand, own, and translate work we advocate for on the podcast and with our clients.

Reflecting Questions for Listeners:

As we hit episode #13 (and counting!) Cam also pointed out that now is a great time as a listener to pause and reflect on your experience with the podcast so far. Here are the four questions he posed:
What are you aware of?
What are you learning?
What is resonating?
What is your practice?

January 13, 2020ADHD and Negative Self Talk
As adults with ADHD we can be our own harshest critics. In today's episode, Cam and Shelly explore negative self talk in the context of our cause and effect metaphor. Using examples from our own experiences, we discuss the causes behind our negative self talk, the impact negative self talk has, and how to start shifting the signal to a more balanced and realistic view of ourselves and our experiences.

January 06, 2020Cause, Effect, and the Universal ADHD Question (pt. 2)
In this continuation of last week's episode, Cam and Shelly use examples from their own experiences as adults with ADHD to further illustrate both the difficulty and the importance of getting to cause with ADHD.

We also offer alternatives to the metaphor we've been using to illustrate the relationship between cause and effect and the impact of ADHD, and we expand on our existing metaphor to set up for next week's episode where we bring the metaphor together.

December 30, 2019Cause, Effect, and the Universal ADHD Question (pt. 1)
Why do I not do what I know I ought to do? This is the universal ADHD question and the question that Cam and Shelly hope to help you answer throughout this podcast.

In today's episode, Shelly and Cam use metaphor to discuss the first barrier to answering this question: getting to effect. As adults with ADHD we are often acutely aware of the symptoms of our ADHD, however, we mistake these symptoms as cause when they really live at effect.

December 23, 2019Embracing Journey Thinking with ADHD
Those of us with ADHD are often prone to problem based thinking, believing that if we could just solve the problem then everything would fall into place. In today's episode, Cam and Shelly offer an alternative approach of journey based thinking.

Based on their work with clients and their own experiences, Cam and Shelly discuss two major components of journey based thinking. The first is defining your big agenda as an adult with ADHD which allows you to connect the work you are doing to manage your ADHD to the positive impact you are trying to create. The second is learning to go narrow before you go wide, which allows us as adults with ADHD to take the first step without letting the potential outcomes of the bigger agenda prevent us from taking action at all.

December 16, 2019Embracing Your Unique Brain Wiring with ADHD
Moving through the world with ADHD means learning how to cope and manage ADHD to survive in a world that isn't designed for us; however, Cam and Shelly believe there is a better approach.

Embracing your unique brain wiring means not just understanding the differences in your experience, but owning and leveraging those differences to ultimately work with the way that your brain works instead of trying to work against it.

In today's episode Cam and Shelly share stories about how embracing and working with their unique brain wiring ultimately lead to less stress, better outcomes, and greater success.

December 09, 2019ADHD and Impact
To have ADHD is to have both positive and negative impact. The challenge that we face as adults with ADHD is that ADHD impairs our ability to be aware of all of our impact.

Using examples from client experiences and our own experiences Cam and Shelly discuss being aware of our impact as adults with ADHD in the areas of beliefs, behavior, task initiation, and more.

December 02, 2019ADHD, Sleep, and the Essential Structures Model
In this episode, Cam and Shelly introduce the Essential Structures model, a model we use with our clients. This model is one tool to create awareness around your own ADHD experiences and to distinguish; both subjects we've discussed in previous episodes.

You can also use this model to identify both the challenges and supports that may not be immediately apparent to you as you embark on the process of change as an adult with ADHD. To demonstrate the model in action, we discuss it in the context of sleep which is a common challenge among our adult ADHD clients.

November 25, 2019ADHD and Readiness for Change
How do you know if you are ready for change as an adult with ADHD? If you aren't currently ready for change, how do you prepare to be ready for change? In this episode of Translating ADHD, Cam and Shelly explain what we mean by readiness for change with ADHD.

In this episode, we discuss Cam's early experiences as an entrepreneur and his own process of being ready for change to demonstrate why the readiness steps we discuss in are crucial to our ability to create and sustain positive change as adults with ADHD.

November 18, 2019ADHD and the Adrenaline Response Cycle
Awareness of our ADHD experience is not just about being aware of what works, it's also about developing awareness about the habits and behaviors that are getting in the way. In this episode of Translating ADHD, Cam and Shelly look at a common ADHD behavior that often gets in the way of change; that of delaying action until urgency forces our hand.

Using Cam's Adrenaline Response Cycle model, we look at how those of us with ADHD often rely on urgency or anxiety as a motivator while discounting the effects of the crash and recovery part of cycle. Using examples from our own experiences, we discuss creating awareness around the impact of living on the ARC roller coaster which is the crucial first step to finding other motivation elixirs.
