Rest is productive. Especially for us ADHD-ers.
Does your mind tell you that rest is a waste of time, or that you should “earn” it? What if we paused to explore that?

What does waiting until you're exhausted to rest, cost you?

ADHD brains can be driven by urgency and adrenaline. But the cost of that constant push mounts up - burnout, irritability, decision fatigue.

Rest isn’t the reward for finishing the list. It’s what makes the next step possible.

Learning how to rest without guilt can change everything.
How do you remind yourself to pause?

I’m joining the Safe Space Counsellor Connection Community on Facebook at 1pm tomorrow Wednesday 13th of August to talk about mindfulness and how that helps counsellors in and outside their therapy sessions. Knowing me, there is bound to be a bit of ADHD chat too.

If you’re a member of this group, you could join us for a mini intro to mindfulness, experience a tiny practice (5mins), share our experiences around that and then go into Q&A.

This is all about our own wellbeing and that affects how we work and our personal lives too. Fancy coming to take a tiny step into self care with others who know how this is for you?

Looking forward to joining the therapists at Therapy Growth Group at 1pm today. Have you signed up yet? Sign up link in the comments.

Yesterday was a big day for me - my first proper country walk since my barefoot pogo incident at a wedding party (note to self: never again, lol!)

Rest and ice just didn't seem to get my ankle better until my friend Graham, a sports massage specialist, really got stuck in with his tortuous fingers of steel. Ouch - but worth it.

Sometimes, you have to do the uncomfortable stuff to heal and grow.

That's true in therapy, and it's true in marketing your private practice too.

Believe me, I know how soul destroying it feels to be working on your social media when it doesn't seem to be making any difference.

But just as Graham helped me get back on my feet, there are people out there who can help you find your stride online too.

However, asking for help can feel awkward. Maybe you don't want family or friends to see your practice until it's "perfect". Maybe the thought of reaching out to people you don't know yet makes you worry you'll be bothering them. Or perhaps you think social media marketing is something you "should" be able to do by yourself.

The thing is, support can come from all sorts of places - and letting others in doesn't make you any less capable. Actually, it's often the thing that really makes a difference.

And the wonderful thing is, it means you're not doing it on your own. Other people - your community - can make such a difference.

On Monday 11/08 at 1pm I'll join Josephine Hughes' Therapy Growth Group live (a group for counsellors who want to growth their private practice). We'll talk about Mindfulness and have a wee taster of it. We'll also talk about how therapists can incorporate mindfulness in their counselling sessions and their own self care. No doubt I'll throw in a thing or two about CBT and ADHD too.
If you are not yet a member of Therapy Growth Group, you could still sign up now on the link in the comments. I look forward to seeing you there!

My podcast conversation with Reid Miles on Inside the Aspergers studio stories is available today. On this episode we talked about how it's possible to add some new wiring to the ADHD brain by blending mindfulness into therapy for lasting change. This may be useful for someone who is an ADHD-er or who works with ADHD-ers , or someone who has a mindfulness practice and might like to incorporate it into the changes they want into their lives.
We had a lovely time recording this chat, so I hope you enjoy it too.

ADHD can feel like living in a hurricane - racing thoughts, constant distractions, destruction and never-ending stress.

We chase the next shiny thing for a moment of relief, craving the dopamine spike that brings a brief sense of calm.

But peace doesn’t have to come from the highs.

Mindfulness can help us find it in the quiet, ordinary moments. By stepping back from the noise and reconnecting with what’s right in front of us - our breath, a sound, a texture - we can train our minds to focus, recharge, and reset in the middle of it all. For us ADHD-ers, this isn’t just calming. It’s empowering.

Imagine what it would feel like to direct your attention with intention. To feel more grounded, more focused, and more present, on your terms.

If that sounds like something you need, I invite you to join my next 8-week Mindfulness Course, designed specifically for ADHD brains.

Starts: Thursday 11th September
Time: 7pm GMT
Where: Zoom
Sign up via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1392501662959?aff=oddtdtcreator

Let’s explore a new way to find calm - together.

Join our online midnfulness course tailored specifically for ADHD-ers over 8 weeks every Thursday 7-9pm from 11th Sept- 30th Oct 2025.

Storms come and go in their own time and in that way thinking and feelings are similar, but if we engage with them, we can make them last longer. If it would help your mood and your interactions with others to be able let things be as they are without agitating, perhaps this mindfulness course for ADHD-ers in September is what you've been looking for. Or perhaps someone else in your network could benefit from it.

Let's learn how to ride out the storms of life together without making them last longer than they need to be there. Booking link in the comments.

Change doesn’t have to be loud to be real.
We often think change means big, bold actions. But real, lasting change usually starts much quieter.

It looks like:

Taking a break before you burn out
Speaking kindly to yourself after a mistake
Asking for help without apologising

Especially for us ADHD-ers, those small shifts are huge.
We don't need to start with a full transformation. Just a starting point - and permission to move at our own pace.

What quiet changes have made the biggest difference for you?

“I’ve tried mindfulness—but my brain just won’t switch off.”
Same. That’s exactly why I needed it.

Mindfulness isn’t about silencing your thoughts or sitting cross-legged in silence. It’s about learning how to notice your breath, your body, and the world around you, without judgment.

For us ADHDers, it can be a powerful way to calm the chaos, reconnect with the present, and build focus and motivation (yes, dopamine’s involved!).

This 8-week course isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, progress, and finding what works for you.

No pressure, no forced stillness - just a neuro-inclusive online space where you can show up as you are.

Date — 11th September
Time — 7pm
Place — Zoom

Let’s find calm in the chaos - together.

Josephine Hughes' Good Enough Counsellors Podcast episode 76 is out today. AND I'M ON IT! Do I sound slightly over excited? It's cause I am. On this episode we talked about CBT therapy, Mindfulness and ADHD. We also discussed how these ways of working can and must be adapted to support ADHD-ers and clients with other forms of neurodivergence. If you're a counsellor or a mindfulness teacher or just interested in info about the above, this episode may just be what you were looking for today. Link to the episode in the comments.

“I looked forward to every session.”

We’re used to thinking of mindfulness courses as hard work. Quiet rooms. Rigid practices. Trying to "be good at it."

But past attendees shared something different:
“I’ve actually looked forward to each session - unlike other courses I’ve dreaded.”
“The variation of practices made it inclusive of individual needs.”

When mindfulness makes space for difference, it becomes something you want to return to. It’s not about perfect calm - it’s about creating space to come back to yourself.

The next mindfulness course starts 11th September:
