Just like medication isnât a one-and-done solution, coaching requires time, practice, and persistence. And yesâthereâs brain science behind that.
For ADHDers, change doesnât come from simply knowing what to do. It comes from repeating strategies enough times for the brain to actually believe they work.
đ Repetition is the rewiring.
ADHD brains often struggle with something called inconsistent recallâwe might know a strategy on Monday, but by Friday it feels brand new again. Thatâs not laziness. Itâs neurology.
To form new habits, ADHD brains need more frequent, meaningful reps to strengthen those neural pathways. Thatâs where coaching comes in:
đ Practicing small shifts consistentlyânot just trying big ones occasionally
đ§Ş Designing experiments to see what actually works
đŁď¸ Naming patterns out loudâto build self-awareness and self-regulation
đ Creating accountability loopsâbecause external structure leads to internal change
đ§Š And letâs not forget time blindness. ADHDers often underestimate how long growth actually takes. Coaching becomes the rhythm, reflection, and reminder that progress is happeningâeven if itâs not overnight.
đą Growth isnât about trying harder. Itâs about trying longer, with guidance, grace, and curiosity.
Coaching works when:
- You show upâeven imperfectly
- You stay curiousânot judgmental
- You practiceâespecially when itâs awkward or slow
đŤ Coaching isnât a quick fix.

Itâs a relationship. A structure. A lab where your brain learns to adapt, experiment, and flourish.
đ ď¸ Itâs not about doing everything âright.â Itâs about doing your version of rightâwith support and science.
