 FAQs

  • Lorem ipsum.

  • What are Executive Functions?

    ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is associated with difficulties in several executive functions, many of which are controlled by the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Here are some of the main executive functions affected by ADHD:

    1. Inhibition: This involves the ability to control one's impulses, thoughts, and actions. Individuals with ADHD often struggle with impulsivity, such as blurting out answers, interrupting others, or acting without fully considering consequences. The prefrontal cortex, particularly the right inferior frontal gyrus, is involved in inhibition.

    2. Working Memory: ADHD can impact working memory, which is the ability to hold and manipulate information in the mind for a short period. This affects tasks such as following instructions, organizing thoughts, and completing multi-step tasks. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays a crucial role in working memory.

    3. Attention Regulation: This includes both sustaining attention (maintaining focus over time) and selective attention (focusing on relevant stimuli while ignoring distractions). The prefrontal cortex, especially the anterior cingulate cortex, is involved in attention regulation.

    4. Task Switching and Cognitive Flexibility: Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty switching between tasks or activities, as well as adapting to changes in plans. The prefrontal cortex, particularly the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex, is important for task switching and cognitive flexibility.

    5. Planning and Organization: ADHD can impact abilities related to planning, setting goals, organizing tasks, and following through on plans. The prefrontal cortex, particularly the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, is involved in these executive functions.

    6. Time Management: Difficulties with estimating time, being on time, and managing time effectively are common in ADHD. The prefrontal cortex, along with other brain regions involved in temporal processing, plays a role in time management.

    7. Emotional Regulation: While not solely controlled by the prefrontal cortex, emotional regulation is linked to executive functions and can be affected in ADHD. This includes managing frustration, anger, and other emotions. The orbitofrontal cortex, which is part of the prefrontal cortex, is involved in emotional regulation.

    These executive functions are interconnected and rely on the coordinated activity of various brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex. Dysfunction in these areas can contribute to the characteristic symptoms of ADHD, such as impulsivity, inattention, and difficulties with organization and self-regulation.

  • ADHD coaching is a collaborative and supportive process that empowers individuals with ADHD to reach their full potential. I am trained around understanding the specific challenges faced by those with ADHD, such as difficulties with focus, organization, time management, and impulsivity. The primary goal of ADHD coaching is to help clients develop practical skills and habits that enable them to thrive in various aspects of their lives, including work, academics, relationships, and personal pursuits.

    Overall, ADHD coaching offers a nonjudgmental, supportive, and goal-oriented approach to helping individuals with ADHD thrive. By working with me, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their ADHD, develop effective coping mechanisms, improve their self-esteem, and ultimately achieve their personal and professional aspirations.

  • During ADHD coaching sessions, the client and I work together to identify specific areas of struggle and set achievable goals. This might involve creating a structured daily routine, implementing organization systems, improving time management skills, and learning effective communication strategies.
