The Busy Brained Saint Podcast

Assessing Your Strengths with ADHD

In this podcast episode, we explore ADHD and the importance of assessing your strengths. While hyperfocus is often associated with ADHD, it is not the only strength individuals with ADHD possess.
We explore the concept of "strength-based assessment" and how it can help individuals with ADHD better understand their unique strengths and abilities. By focusing on their strengths, individuals with ADHD can build confidence and self-esteem, which can in turn improve their overall well-being.
Additionally, we discuss the benefits of seeking out support and guidance from professionals, such as coaches or therapists, who specialize in ADHD. These experts can provide valuable insights and strategies to help individuals with ADHD harness their strengths and achieve their goals.
Overall, this podcast episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and cultivating strengths in individuals with ADHD, rather than solely focusing on their challenges and deficits.
