ADHD
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of things we are asked to complete on a daily basis. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is often identified when a pattern of performance which is hindered by losing focus (inattention) or struggling to display behaviors with an acceptable flow of energy (hyperactivity) create a series of difficulties for a person in more than one area of their life. This diagnosis is usually identified during childhood, but there are many reasons this could not be the case. As a result, ADHD can be a specific treatment issue for both children and adults heading into middle adult years.
If this does occur, it can be difficult to know what kind of help to pursue. Counseling can offer strategies for understanding situations differently and relearning how to be comfortable within ourselves so we can find our focus and use our energy in a productive way.
If you are concerned about yourself or know someone who may be struggling with ADHD, consider the following questions:
Do I often make careless mistakes when I am working on a boring or difficult project?
Do I struggle to focus on what people are saying to me even when I know they are talking directly to me?
Do I have difficulties staying organized when a task has multiple parts to it?
Do I often avoid or delay getting started on important projects or tasks?
Do I have trouble staying in my seat for periods of time?
Do people tell me I have interrupted them when I start to share my ideas?
If any of these questions have a yes, or you are struggling to have a high quality of life at home, work, school, or around your friends and family, it may be worth your time to seek help from a professional. The goal of counseling with many clinical issues begins with having the right person to talk with to explore the issues, gain insight, and identify useful solutions that work better and better over time. Having a strategy for making positive changes for ADHD can take time, dedication, and consistency. Counseling services can be a great place to gain knowledge and build connections with a person who can be there as you begin to practice walking down a new path. Finding ways to keep a balance in our life begins with our decision to pursue positive changes to the way we see our focus and accept ourselves during our journey.
