The beginning of a new calendar year is a time when people often make New Year’s resolutions. Most often our resolutions involve something we’d like to be doing differently. We may resolve to eat better, exercise more, or do more volunteer work.  Any such actions can have a significant positive impact on our lives, if we can stick with them long enough.

I was interviewed for an article for AARP, and it has just come out. Please feel free to share it, since it has a lot of helpful information about ADHD in adults. Happy Holidays!

Most of us with ADHD have been told quite often that we are doing things the wrong way. We try hard to change, but when we fail to change, our frustration and shame can lead to a nagging sense of low self-esteem. How do we change something so basic as our inner sense of our own worth?

Do you sometimes find yourself deeply regretting some action you took or some words you spoke?

I think we all have moments in which we mentally beat up on ourselves about something we regret having done. We can find ourselves stuck in thoughts of embarrassment, shame, and guilt.

The fall and winter holidays are approaching! This year will be like no other as we try to create safe ways to celebrate and invent new ways to feel connected.
