STEP 1. Get A Good Map - Learn About ADHD
Step 1.3 Great videos on ADHD
📹📹📹 I swear, I could start a book/video/podcast club with my therapy clients – we share our favorites and sometimes watch clips in session. One time, a client who’d just broken up with her boyfriend and I put together an ‘empowerment playlist’ to help her hold her boundaries firm when her ex tried to wheedle his way back in. It had all the classics (mostly old pop & soul): “These Boots Were Made for Walking”, “I Will Survive” (of course), “Respect”, “Run the World”, “Proud Mary”, “Respect Yourself”, etc. It was lots of fun and she went from sobbing to smiling.
But I digress…What was I going to talk about? Ummm, right…Videos!
According to my clients, the best, most useful YouTube channels about adult ADHD, hands down, are:
1. Jessica McCabe’s “How To ADHD” @howtoadhd (IG acct doesn’t reflect depth of her YouTube Channel)
2. Rick Green & Co.’s “Totally ADD” @totallyADD.
Both are funny, engaging, up to date and, most important - scientifically sound.
.
Other good, if serious, YouTube channels for adult ADHD Ed:
- AttentionTalkVideo (coaching)
- Adhd Videos (mostly recorded lectures by the Big Kahuna of ADHD research & practice, Dr. Russell Barkley)
- Additude Magazine @additudemag
- ADHD rewired @adhdrewired Eric Tivers, LCSW – awesome productivity hacker for creatives & neuro-diverse folks. Eric taught me the word “imbortant” – the stuff that’s important but boring
- Help for ADHD @chadd_adhd from the National Resource Center on ADHD at CHADD (Children & Adults with ADD) 🎥🎥🎥
Annnd, that’s about enough for now. There’s lots more, but it’s time for me to go outside and mess about in the yard, maybe go for a walk.
