"Breaking out"
Understanding ADD and
directing attention
Renée and ADD
I am finding,
in my therapy experience, that an increasing number of clients with
attention problems, anger, depression and repeating problems at work
and in their relationships are unaware that they are on the ADD
spectrum.
Through their chaotic emotions they will have lost sight of
the pattern
of their invaluable strengths:
Spatial awareness, creativity, recognizing patterns, making
fruitful connections – lateral thinking - and a sharp intuition.
I derive enormous optimism from years of helping people
harness their
natural gifts and creativity and have seen lasting changes and growth.
So, why go?
ADD can be managed and its strengths harnessed.
Too many charismatic and talented people are suffering and don't realise that they are on the ADD
spectrum, ending up overwhelmed by their disorganized
lives. In the
process their original thinking style is lost to society as a whole, in
a time when we need more 'out-of-the-box' solutions.
This workshop is for individuals wanting to recognize,
understand and
manage effectively the contradictions of their symptoms as well as for
professionals wishing to take advantage of my successes in this area.
You will learn focusing techniques and how to
synchronize left
and right-brain, so that visual-spatial thinkers (right-brain),
can learn to utilize their creative talents. This will also help curb
uncontrolled behaviour, and prevent the development of stress,
depression and anger.
Success in education and in the workplace requires
organizational
skills and the ability to perform linear tasks. Until people with ADD
learn to deal with these, their immense right brain talents will be
lost. Learning to work with the brain in this way you will find
surprising success in dealing with poor concentration, AD(H)D, lack of
coherence, as well as finding it of benefit when dealing with dyslexia,
dyscalculia and so on.
Who for?
For anyone working as a mental health professional, teacher, social
worker or coaching professional; for people suffering with the symptoms
of AD(H)D, for parents or partners.
