In this episode of Translating ADHD, Ash and Cam return to awareness, the first barrier of ADHD, and share a few examples of “You know you are here if..” They explore client scenarios that are a good indication of being stuck at the first barrier. Being at the first barrier is often exemplified by having some sense of a challenge but also not seeing all of the picture. ADHD makes it difficult to get to causation and nowhere is this more evident than the first barrier characterized by the first stage of change, pre-contemplation or “you don’t know what you don’t know”. There are many examples, but Cam and Ash share three in particular - where individuals coming to coaching may think they need only tactical support, view ADHD as a superpower, or perceive it as a curse. The hosts discuss each example and first steps to moving through the barrier to new awareness. The hosts not only emphasize the importance of gaining awareness, but also recognizing self-criticism and seeking support to navigate these challenges.
