Are You Frustrated Living with ADHD?
You Are Not Alone
I'm Cheryl Susman, ADHD Coach, and with my 3-step process of understanding the ADHD brain, I assist parents and adults living with ADHD to create calm, reduce stress, and gain control and balance for themselves, their child and their family.
When we live with ADHD, chronic disorganization and distractibility, everything is intensified. If you feel helpless, frustrated and drained, I get it. I've been there too.
Here's how I can help:
Meet You Where You Are
Use curiosity, be consistent, stay calm
Finding less chaos and more harmony starts with us. We tend to look for ways to fix ourselves and our kids. Rather than fixing, I've found that the best way to bring new vitality into our lives and our families is by setting expectations for ourselves and our children that are in alignment with where we are now. This way we meet ourselves and our children where we are now and raise our expectations where we be can be successful, one step at a time.
Re-frame into Strengths
Set priorities, manage emotions, parent positively
We work together to view yourself and your child in terms of your strengths. We adjust your lenses to help you reframe the things that drive you crazy into strengths that can be the greatest gifts.
Build Resilience
Increase motivation, let go of judgment, enhance family time
As your partner we collaborate to let you and your child experiment, and even fall sometimes, without judgment. You and your child build resilience as your family becomes keen observers, learning from your experiences.
Assistance in Understanding
Prioritize, problem-solve, motivate
If you are a parent or adult who lives with ADHD, chronic disorganization or distractibility, you may feel lost, lonely, and confused and ask yourself some questions. Perhaps as you learn more about your child's symptoms, you begin to recognize similar patterns in yourself.
If any of these sound like you, you may benefit from our partnership:
- I’m tired of managing my challenges on my own.
- I'm constantly in crisis mode.
- I'm ready to stop being a taskmaster and start working together again.
- Time doesn’t exist until it gets away from me.
- I’ve tried things before but nothing seems to stick.
- I’m struggling to keep up with the demands of my job and my family.
- I’m overwhelmed by the chaos in our lives. I feel out of control.
- I feel judged that my child's inapproriate behavior is due to my terrible parenting.
- Even though I know what to do it's really hard to do it all.
- I worry that my adult child will never be able to manage independently.
- I think I may have ADHD. How do I manage my family and myself?
