🤝 Coach in training 🌱 Positive Psychology approach 🦋 Late diagnosed ADHD 🫡 Cis male (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈 Gay 📍Hampshire, UK 📧 coachethan@tuta.io

Later-diagnoised ADHD - what's that like? 🐥 new- never considered it & feels fresh ~1y post diagnosis 🧬 source of interest- past life, current activities, future settings 🤝 new connections- finding others with shared experiences 🛸 a little lonely at times- still navigating #adhd #lateadhd #adhdlife

Interesting, & timely. I'm writing 'My Manual' as a resource for me, loved ones & maybe someday, new friends & colleagues. I'm trying this format- *Topic *how it feels to me *how it may present *things which may help. So far I have drafted Frustration, Inactivity, and Locked In #adhd #selfknowledge

Every appliance has instructions, every system a guide, but life lacks a manual. This led to years of trial and error, learning through mistakes. Information exists but is scattered across podcasts, books, and support groups instead of being compiled into one resource.

If in doubt, flight/fight/freeze, tension, stress, & if it's safe... try getting out! 🚪 🔄Change your environment Even better, get into nature 🏞️ We now have a saying in our house, going out "is always the right thing to do" 🪄 It may not be a magic cure, but it can still be a piece of magic #getout

ADHD & me - say whaaat?! 🐣 never explored during childhood (80s & 90s) 👦 despite common traits: energy bursts, emotionally "sensitive", erratic focus 🧩 learned to strategise, follow'n'fit = depression from mid-teens 💑 returned to talking therapy mid-40s, diagnosis soon after #adhd #adhddiagnosis

A Master's - why?! 🎖️ Credentials- Coaching, as an industry, is unregulated 🔬 Evidence- research & data strengthen outcomes and advance practice 🪴 Learning- theory, practice, feedback, research, finding my coaching style 🎓️ UEL- Europe's 1st MSc in Applied Positive Psychology (2006) #masters #uni

Coaching - what is it?! 🛟 space, time & safety to explore a specific topic, in depth 🤔 a supported way to challenge, stretch & open up your thinking 💗 inclusive of emotions as they arise, and room to be present with them 🔀 aimed at creating sustainable change, looking ahead, moving forward #coach
