Navigating daily life with focus-related difficulties and impulse control issues can be incredibly challenging and frustrating, for kids and adults alike. Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can greatly interfere with daily life, and it can be tough to find lasting relief without medications or side effects. At Back on Track Coaching Plus, we are proud to offer impulse control and ADHD coaching in Denver to help improve the quality of life for people with focus-related challenges.
But how do ADHD coaching services work? And what do you stand to gain by working with our staff at Back on Track Coaching Plus? We’re here to answer all these questions and more.
Understanding ADHD and Impulsivity
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a complex condition that affects children, teens, and adults, and it is often characterized by symptoms across 3 main categories: (1) focus, (2) hyperactivity, and (3) impulsivity. The symptoms within these categories can look very different in kids with ADHD compared to adults with ADHD, and the severity and prevalence of symptoms vary from person to person.
Impulsivity refers to “behavior(s) in which you do things suddenly without any planning,” like speaking without preparing what to say or acting without knowing what to do next. For instance, adults with ADHD may have sudden outbursts at work or interrupt others throughout the day due to impulsive tendencies.
Hyperactivity symptoms can sometimes be easy to spot because they relate to physical activities and movements. Children and adults with ADHD often squirm, fidget, and struggle to sit still, and are frequently moving or getting into things. Adults might leave meetings or lectures when it’s inappropriate or may talk excessively.
Focus and inattention symptoms can be challenging to identify in kids because it’s normal for children to be inattentive or distracted at times. However, the most common symptoms include disorganization, inability to prioritize tasks, constantly forgetting things, difficulty following directions, and struggling to complete tasks.
The Importance of Coaching Services for ADHD & Impulses
While traditional treatments for focus-related disorders, like prescription medications, can alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, they often don’t address the problem at the source. All ADHD symptoms and behaviors are influenced by your neurology, and by having detailed knowledge of which parts of the brain are contributing to symptoms and why, an ADHD coach can collaborate with clients to improve the behaviors.
Through ADHD coaching in Denver, you can receive personalized care and attention. By working with this type of trained professional, you’ll have someone in your corner who will meet you where you’re at, take the time to understand what you’re hoping to accomplish and receive tailored coaching services to help you overcome your hurdles and struggles.
That said, it’s important to note that impulse control coaching is an investment that takes time and consistent work to produce lasting positive changes in your daily life. There is no guarantee of any results because you are the one who must put in the effort between coaching sessions and apply the techniques acquired during those sessions. Be prepared to attend ongoing sessions. If symptom mitigation is important to you, then progress will show over time.
