Procrastinator's Day
I just found out we had a whole day to celebrate our procrastinating ways. I really meant to celebrate, too, but I just didn't get around to it.

"Others"
I keep talking with my clients about "Others," a term I've taken from the series "Lost." If you are an ADDer, you probably know immediately who I'm talking about. They are those people who spring out of bed in the morning without pressing snooze, eat breakfast and wash ALL the dishes, and head out the door early, with EVERYTHING they need for the day - without having to search for anything. It's the folks who think returning emails and calls, doing paperwork, chores, etc. is the "easy stuff." The ones who show up at meetings with all the needed documents accessible in an instant... you probably know at least one...
They are often our family and friends. They may love us completely. They are the ones who, while well-meaning, say, "just try harder," "put things away right after you use them", "get up 30 minutes earlier".... You know the ones. They are also the ones who just don't "get it." The main thing to understand, in my opinion, is that they CAN'T get it. And that is because they are wired so utterly differently that our behavior just doesn't make sense to them.
And while they can cause a lot of frustration and despair (as we can to them), it's a good thing the world has them. After all, someone has to sit in those cubicles from 9-5!

Support/Coaching Group
In addition to individual coaching and psychotherapy, we provide opportunities for ADDers to meet and share experiences.
ON-GOING COACHING/SUPPORT GROUP
In place of the in-person group we now host a WEEKLY TELEPHONE-BASED coaching and support group. It meets Wednesday mornings at 8:00am (PST) for one hour. It offers a place for community, accountability, consistency, brainstorming, feedback and laughter.
This group is facilitated by Dr. Kim Kensington and provides a place to give and receive support related to accomplishing your specific goals. Each person signs up for 12 consecutive weeks and can begin immediately after signing up (or on the Wednesday of their choice.) The cost is $360 and includes 12 sequential Wednesdays. "Make-ups" are available with 7 days notice of the day to be missed.
Call or email for more information or sign-up now by clicking here
Once your payment is received, you will be sent the telephone number to use to call-in. Long-distance charges do apply. Please allow 24 hours to receive your call- in number (i.e. if you sign-up at midnight on Tuesday, may need to wait until the following Wednesday to begin).
Looking forward to "meeting" you!
