Society and those with ADHD have been brainwashed to focus on the "what,” as in: What do you want to major in? What do you want to be when you grow up? Often, the "what" becomes the measuring stick to judge "who" you are. Many become condescending and self-critical when “who” they are is not aligned with “what” they think they're supposed to be. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper interviews MCC coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com) as they deconstruct things to attend to understanding "who" you are so that you can reveal “what” you were born to be. If you are unhappy or self-critical, this is a show you shouldn't miss.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD.

Many with ADHD can benefit and learn to manage themselves by paying attention to what they pay attention to. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Anna Dutko (http://round2.fit), who did just that. After a breakup, Anna found herself bored on the dating scene. After some self-reflection when asked what she wanted to do, she realized she was the boring part when her response was, “I don't know.” This inspired her to go on 30 dates with herself to find out what she liked to do when the only person involved was her. Listen to our interview with Anna and gain insight on the value of the experience and ponder what the same might do for you. It was very transformational for her and helped her find her way to learn more about herself and what she wants in life.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention def

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder stimulant medications have been demonized for decades. Questions abound and answers are often hard to find, like: Are stimulant medication shortages just a ploy for the big pharmaceutical companies to up the price? Are stimulants and abused drugs addictive? What are the long-term effects of taking stimulants? More importantly, what are the long-term effects of not taking them? If you take stimulants, will you become a zombie? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com/answers/) shares where to get hard-to-find answers to these important questions and more. If you are longing to understand what most don’t about stimulants, tune in to this interview.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn’t a deficit of attention but rather a self-regulation issue. It challenges those with ADHD because they must effortfully engage the executive functioning brain to override the automatic brain, the primitive brain, the “lizard brain” as marketers call it. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews Alan Brown, advertising executive with ADHD and the founder of ADD Crusher (http://addcrusher.com) and CrusherTV (http://crushertv.com). They discuss ADHD and how your lizard brain falls prey, hunted by politicians, the media, and corporate America and how each exploits your self-regulation challenges for their own self-interests, including how they hijack your amygdala and control your decisions in a programmed way, selling you what doesn’t work and then selling it to you again and again and again. Most importantly, they share brain hacks and attention exercises to reclaim control and tame your lizard brain. If you ofte

What should you do if you have ADHD? The answer is often revealed by understanding who you are. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper interviews master certified coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com). Jeff identifies what he attends to when he's coaching people to help them understand who they are and what they are all about. David talks about how he uses character strengths to help individuals do the same. Then they compare their different approaches to understand the contrast between the way Jeff and David think based on “who” they are and use that to explain what careers have worked for them in the past and how they're very different. If you are curious about “who” you are, you'll want to tune in.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with A

Shifting your mindset is a common denominator of those who have successfully managed their ADHD or others who have successfully supported them. If that is true, then why do so many people say they get it, but yet, no progress is made. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) and ADHD parent coach Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) discuss and deconstruct mindsets, mind shifts, and share examples of how people think they get it when they don’t. In their conversation they illuminate that the mind shift is not a one-time deal. It happens over time as one has to disprove the old way of thinking and find evidence to prove the new mindset in order for them to adopt it. If you are struggling with ADHD and have not found what works, this is a show that might help you shift the way you pay attention to things.   Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and

Coaching can be difficult to understand. Often those with ADHD are desperate for answers. They're looking to be pointed in the direction of solutions in a simple fashion. In the end, it doesn't work that way. Simple and desperate are just concepts that don't work together. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, our guest Dr. Kirsten Milliken (http://playdhd.com), amazingly articulates some of the challenges of understanding ADHD and why it works, but we also hear her experience and the power of it.

ADHD can easily be thought of as a magnet. It's either attracted to something or repels something. In this context, we begin to understand the challenges of self-regulation. The magnet is a magnet; you can't change its forces. How do you work with it? ADHD is ADHD; you can’t change the biology. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Caroline Maguire (http://necoaching.com) and Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) discuss using magnets as a metaphor to observe ADHD behavior and transition to just how one can use the concept of a magnet to work with it and not against it.

Is it that ADHD teens shut down and won’t communicate — or that they can’t communicate? Experts often share strategies for teens that shut down, but what do you do about those who just can’t communicate? Those who can’t organize their thoughts to articulate their message or their intent? Communication requires executive functioning, which is impaired by ADHD.
