Education is key in helping patients with ADHD overcome challenges in their lives, says David Giwerc, founder of the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA) at 1971 Western Avenue, Albany, NY. "If a person doesn’t know which aspects of their behavior are affected by their ADHD, a coach can't expect them to understand which behaviors they have the ability to change," Giwerc said. “You don’t know ADHD until you know your own brand of ADHD.

ADHD coaching is an alternative treatment sometimes used instead of, or in combination with, medication and therapy, to treat the symptom of ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Coaching emphasizes education so that patients can learn about the individual traits of the disorder that are specific to their own personalities. This knowledge can help accelerate the development of personal coping strategies.

Giwerc himself has ADHD. He had two successful careers that left him bored and wanting more. Oddly enough, it was ADHD that challenged that boredom. When he began to research why there was not more attention being paid to adults with ADHD, it sparked a passion in him that had been missing in his prior working life. In 1998, together with his wife, Marla, they launched the ADD Coach Academy website (ADDCA). It is now the largest virtual ADHD coaching program in the world, and the only ADHD coaching program based in Albany. Several successful graduates of the academy remain in the Albany area.

“We are constantly invited to be who we are.” by Henry David Thoreau

Every day we wake up to a world that is focused on production and performance. You are asked to do things that are a function of an established set of prescribed standards. You believe your ability to successfully perform is a measure of your worth and value. You grow up with the misguided belief that “who” you are is an indicator of how well you do things. When you don’t do them well,

Top Ten Strategies that ADDers Need to Know (813)

ADHDers have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew and in the process overwhelm themselves with too many promises they can't deliver.

There is a charge neutral way of saying NO that will not offend anyone. If you do decide to say yes to something that interests or motivates you, then UNDER-PROMISE and OVER-DELIVER.

It will immediately alleviate any pressure you feel. You'll be more productive and you will surpass everyone's expectations.

Learning to Pay Attention to What You Pay Attention To (660)

ADHD Education

Over the last decade of coaching adults with ADHD I have consistently observed patterns of negative thoughts & beliefs that many of them would hold on to.

When I witness my clients, I will usually notice a consistent pattern of destructive beliefs that subconsciously direct their lives. In my experience, most adults with ADHD are not aware of the beliefs that dominate their lives or how their beliefs do or do not serve them well.
