You wake up and you are feeling unwell... sore throat? bad cough?  runny nose? or perhaps you have an awful headache or Migraine?  Perhaps you barely got a wink of sleep that night and you have to face the day knowing your ADHD will definitely cause problems or you will become triggered and suffering from CTPSD is the worst when feeling sick!  Listen to part of one this two part episode.. when you're sick and you have ADHD and CPTSD!

Dealing with ADHD and CPTSD when you are feeling great physically and Mentally is one thing but when you become sick and/or feel mentally drained then both ADHD and CPTSD is a whole new ball game!  This week will be a 2 Episode special on what it's like being Sick and having ADHD and CPTSD!  Available Friday and Saturday!

When you are dealing with CPTSD in your life you are taught by a Therapist to use Grounding Tools to assist you to unblend from your child parts that have become triggered by a flashback.  I cannot emphasize how important the use of Grounding is to your healing process!  Without the ability to ground when your parts feel triggered you will find that it is incredibly difficult to come out of your trigger and begin to heal your pain and suffering.

I offer my own experiences to you the audience and provide some new and interesting examples of the tools out there people have come up with to help them ground and unblend from their part's triggers.

For many of us with ADHD we live and swear by having Routines to make our lives simpler, more manageable.  They do make life better but sometimes they can get in the way when our lives change!  Whether by force or by accident, creating a new routine and saying goodbye to old ones can be very stressful and frustrating for us.  Listen to this podcast and see how routines made my life easier until they didn't.

Being diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for many is not an easy thing to accept.  We don't really believe that it's something that would happen to us and we look for other explanations and pretend to ourselves that we don't really have it.  But ultimately in order to begin the process of healing and moving forward in life we need to accept our condition and stay positive about our experiences throughout the stages of therapy and learning about this terrible disability that we have.  I talk about my own issues with accepting my diagnosis in this episode and give advice to my listeners in this episode.

Having ADHD while on the job is for all of us very difficult.  Many of us have had a hard time keeping a job for very long because we often can't keep up, lose track of what we are doing, miss assignments, submit bad projects and cannot get along with our co-workers.  Because our employers don't realize that we suffer from ADHD they will believe we are just not a very good employee and aren't work keeping and will get fired!

Here are some common signs that we all deal with every day during while at our desk or with our clients and also what we can do to help manage our ADHD better so we can keep earning that dollar!

There will be two new episodes this week and every other week!

Stay tuned Friday for an Episode on ADHD and then Saturday for another Episode on CPTSD

You're triggered and you are feeling scared and want to hide.. or your behavior is like a child!  A conversation with your Loved One or a Parent is making things worse.  Good chance you are blend with your child parts, having a flashback.  Struggling to unblend is something that we all deal with when we're triggered but there are ways to notice and tools for you to use to help get yourself back to an unblended state of being.

having CPTSD is not an easy disorder to deal with as all the different issues and complex triggers that often happen can create debilitating results.  ADHD often makes you feel like you're missing out, you don't understand what's happening in your world and causes frustration everyday and for some that can be as easy as snapping your fingers!
