Episode 12: I Should be Able to Manage This (part 1)
Manage episode 438880342 series 3567048
In this weeks episode, I share a recap from a coaching session I had with a client who was feeling a lot of shame around not being able to manage certain household tasks. She had been putting off cleaning out her refrigerator for weeks and was frustrated with herself for not getting it done.
We talked about how certain emotions such as shame and guilt were likely responsible for her avoidance of the task, along with the fact that it actually requires a great deal of executive functioning to manage the contents of a refrigerator and to maintain it!
In this first part of this 2 part episode, we really uncovered some thoughts and beliefs of hers that make it hard for her to find ways to support her ADHD including things she "should" be able to do.
If you find yourself saying "I 'should' be able to do" xyz about all kinds of things, then I think this episode will really help you see how often times that's exactly what is preventing you from actually doing it.
