Navigating ADHD: An 8-Week Supervision Course with Bo

ADHD is a form of neurodivergence that both children and adults experience. It spans challenges in multiple domains of self-regulation, including inhibition and impulsivity, executive functioning, emotional regulation, motivation, and sustained attention and distraction control.

Many of us have the insight to know what we’re up against. The issue is often not a gap in knowledge that needs to be filled, but the support and creative input needed to put interventions into practice, as well as how to time them to address each stage of the ADHD cycle.

In adults, ADHD can exert a big influence in our lives, affecting our professional work, creative dreams, and self-image.

ADHD also includes anomalies of embodied experience.

In the eyes of people with ADHD, the tasks that seem to come easily to others can feel elusive. And yet, ADHD also offers tremendous gifts, such as inherently creative ways of viewing the world and the willingness to pursue one’s passions when social reinforcement isn’t present.

In this 8-week course and support group, we invite you to take on a project or responsibility with special meaning for you, one that you’ve been meaning to begin, work on, or complete. You’ll have the chance to workshop your area (or project) of challenge in the ADHD cycle, and receive the input and support to employ practical, real-time tools to alleviate it.

Along the way, we’ll review a sampling of recent scientific studies and psychological understandings relevant to ADHD. Most importantly, we’ll look through the lens of embodiment, exploring what ADHD means in your body, as well as among other bodies and in the world at large.

Each week will include a stage or aspect in the cycle of ADHD, as follows:  

• Week 1: Deadlines (what they evoke in us and how to cope with them)
• Week 2: Post-deadline ovewhelm and how to manage it
• Week 3: Understanding the biology of procrastination and how it manifests for you
• Week 4: Identifying and Managing Agitation
• Week 5: Coping with Aversion
• Week 6: Antidotes to shame for people with ADHD
• Week 7: Focusing, Finishing, and Task Transitioning
• Week 8: Building awareness and culling insight from the ADHD Cycle

We’ll explore movement-based embodied practices, including interoception as well as fascia self-bodywork. We’ll also experience embodied contemplative practices targeted toward supporting the experience of ADHD. We’ll discuss the timing of practices with respect to the different stages of the ADHD cycle.

We’ll navigate the tension between responsibilities and creative play, with a focus on “creative cross-training.”

We’ll examine ways to boost your sense of agency in ADHD, including the artful use of stimulation, rewards, and consequences.

And, of course, we’ll cultivate group-sourced wisdom and community cohesion and support.

You’ll receive:

• weekly downloadable practice recordings and between-session touchstones for practice
• a copy of the 8-Week Course PowerPoint
• a CE certificate for yoga teachers through Yoga Alliance and the International Association of Yoga Therapists
• a link to download all the materials for a period of seven days (so you can keep and review them forever)
