In this episode, we discuss the emotional obstacles faced by folks with ADHD, and how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can manage these challenges. We explore the impact of perfectionism, procrastination, and automatic thoughts on emotional well-being. The conversation highlights the importance of self-care, mindfulness, and understanding cognitive distortions in the therapeutic process, by sharing personal experiences and insights. Your thoughts are powerful!

In this episode, Hannah and Stephanie discuss time management, prioritization, the importance of self-care, using the Eisenhower Matrix as a tool to determine the difference between urgent and important tasks, and the struggle with hyper-focus.

In this episode, Hannah and Stephanie chat about 5 specific skills to make daunting tasks more manageable:

1. Chunking

2. Using Rewards

3. Naturally Occurring Reinforcers

4. Pairing Unpleasurable Tasks with Pleasurable Ones

5. Body Doubling

Good luck getting some shit done!

Spoiler Alert: Our audio was not better. We promise we are trying.

In this episode, we discuss out experiences with ADHD, particularly around time management strategies and the importance of understanding time blindness. We explore how dopamine affects task management, our tendency to overcommit, and the significance of having a single calendar system.

There are lots of ideas and strategies in this one!
