We want to get therapy...great! Which type of therapy should we get?! Oh my gosh the mental health landscape is a giant pain in the ass.

Here's a substack article I wrote about it.

I got to meet Dr. Laurie Bruce and she agreed to come on the show to talk about the various modalities. Hopefully that helps us make a better choice about the kind of therapy to seek.

The theme this month is about support. Support is mission critical for an adult with ADHD, that is my opinion, and the ways we can get support is vast! From the various therapies (CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR) to ADHD Coaching, to Communities, to our family and friends, to ourselves (how are we supporting ourselves!)

This month I'll talk to experts in the supportive arts, and this episode I share a bit about my journey with various support systems. And I invite you to share what is working for you!

So that happened. "That" being a day when I sunk hard. Full hopelessness activated. But with it came an insight, and idea, and a challenge that I have brought into the community.
