Navigating ADHD with Following Energy
Following the energy can sometimes mean holding and living into questions for a long time.
Many years ago, I began noticing ADHD when clients who are moms started tracking differences with their children.
As these smart, intuitive, dedicated and loving women (many of you😍) began naming ADHD as a possibility for their kids, they also started wondering about their own unique wiring. These keen observations began making me wonder about my wiring too.
Then one day, in the midst of an embodied leadership group, ADHD came up, several participants self-identified and when someone commented casually, “following energy is really helping me with my ADHD,” they all nodded and smiled.
My jaw dropped. My stomach tightened. An inner voice exclaimed, “Holy shit, are you catching this?”
Why all the internal fuss?
Well, in 2008 my world got rocked when every woman in an ongoing group I was holding shared they’d been clinically diagnosed with anxiety at some point, and how energy healing had given them something western medicine couldn’t. Realizing energy work could soften fear not only crystallized how I could serve women with anxiety, it helped me recognize fear as a teacher for following energy overall.
Fast forward and this second holy shit moment introduced a new question: Was it possible that following energy could also be a resource for navigating ADHD?
I began tracking this deeply in work and life. Along the way, I met Jesse Kauffman, a psychologist specializing in ADHD through an amazing coaching program with Annie Schuessler (🙏🏼🥰). He and I started connecting and exchanging ideas, though I later discovered he’d heard about following energy with me before.
Jesse is not only a wonderful human, he’s a compassionate psychologist who understands the limitations of western approaches and is curious about other modalities. Perhaps because he has a creative ADHD brain too.
When it came time to restart my podcast, a conversation with Jesse about ADHD and following energy was at the top of my list.
I’m grateful he said yes. I’m grateful for our wildly insightful conversation.
And most of all, I’m grateful to my beloved bad ass clients for allowing me to hold, follow and learn alongside you all these years. Thank you.
