Neil Swanson, PCC, CACP, MDiv - ADHD and Relationship Coach - December 29, 2022

Hi, !

Why do folks with ADHD benefit from the support of a coach trained to work with ADHD? There are many reasons, but today I’d like to briefly discuss one of them -- support. 

Many of my clients come to me asking, “Can I really change my ADHD patterns of thought and behavior?” I help them come to see that such change is possible, but that it usually requires at least one other person providing consistent, patient, non-judgmental support. 

A logical person to provide us with such support would be a life partner or a close friend or relative who loves us. The problem is that someone so close to us is likely to have a hard time providing this support. They have experienced our recurring ADHD behaviors and may suffer from hard-to-let-go-of, accumulated resentment. It is understandably difficult for them to be patient, objective, positive, and non-judgmental. 

Here's where an ADHD-trained coach can play a vital role. A coach does not have the emotional involvement and long-term, painful memory of challenges that someone close to us has. The coach can respond with compassion, positivity, and patience. 

With non-judgmental presence, a good coach helps us to strengthen our motivation, discover appropriate new tools and strategies, and grow in self-compassion and positivity. 

In order to increase the level of support my coaching clients experience, I am adding new supportive tools in my 2023 coaching programs. On the “Coaching” page of my website, are listed some of the new components I am now offering in addition to weekly coaching sessions. Besides between-session check-ins by phone, text, email, or video, new components include daily supportive messages, more timely suggested resources, an online platform for ease of communication with me between sessions, and more.
