Digital Detox and Organisation for the Distracted ADHD Mind
Event Information
30 minutes looking for a digital document… phones checked every 15 minutes… devices slept with like a security blanket… It’s often the last thing our clients see before sleep and the first thing they reach for in the morning…
Tech has gone from being a tool to a necessity with people with ADHD at a higher risk of internet addiction and becoming disconnected from real life.
Screens are here to stay and when it comes to managing ADHD, the digital world offers numerous ways to energize or overwhelm our clients. Apps and devices can offer comfort, ignite the brain and provide useful organisational tools to stay on top of commitments, goals and tasks. However, excessive screen time may worsen ADHD symptoms and complicate their management.
During this session we will delve into the barriers our ADHD clients experience when approaching digital organisation and screen-time. We explore frameworks that can unlock motivation and discuss how we as coaches can give our clients the agency to define what a healthy relationship with their tech look likes for them
