ADHD is more than just a list of symptoms—it affects every aspect of life. It influences how you think and behave, how you manage your health, and how you navigate different life stages. This session will introduce mindful self-coaching–a neurodiversity-informed and accessible 3-step process that brings mindfulness to ADHD outside of traditional meditation to train self-regulation in different ADHD/other neurodiversity contexts. The process involves brief cognitive shifts in attention, attitude and self-talk. The session will highlight how an ADHD-informed, mindful and compassionate inner voice that skillfully guides you through a difficult challenge is a key for self-regulation. ADHD will be framed via the adaptive neurodiversity lens: seeing ADHD as a neurobiological difference that depending on the situation brings challenges, promotes certain coping needs, and has potential upsides. With several examples of mindful self-coaching the participants will be shown how to use this approach to understand their own neurodivergent needs, become more self-directed and ultimately feel empowered and whole.
