You know what needs doing. Getting started is the hard part.
These groups are where you learn your ADHD by doing.
We learn something, try it, and notice what happens.
We explore some of the psychology underneath what you might be experiencing and then experiment with practical ways of doing things in everyday life.
Created and facilitated by Stephanie Green, a psychologist with 17 years of experience who also has lived experience of ADHD.
You probably already know what you're supposed to do.
The hard part can be starting, keeping going, remembering, organising or doing the thing when your brain isn't interested.
"I know what needs to be done."
You can see the task. You understand why it matters. Starting it is another story.
"Why does this feel so hard?"
Things that look simple from the outside can involve a surprising amount of effort, decision-making and emotional load.
"I've tried so many strategies."
What you may need is space to experiment with what actually works for your brain.
There are lots of ways to learn about ADHD. Videos, books, worksheets, workbooks, podcasts and courses can all have a place.
We learn about ADHD by doing.
You experiment and practise inside the group, so your ADHD brain isn't doing it alone.
We also look at why these things can feel so hard in the first place.
Understand
We explore ADHD and some of the psychology underneath what you might be experiencing.
Experiment
You try practical strategies and skills within the context of the group.
Notice
We notice what happened, what helped and what you might want to change.
Take it into real life
You decide what you'd like to keep, adapt or experiment with next.
You're learning about your neurodivergence while experimenting with ways to make everyday life work with your brain.
Practical support, with the psychology underneath it.
We look at why certain things can feel so hard with ADHD, what may be happening underneath the stuckness or avoidance, and then use small experiments to help you discover what works for your brain.
A monthly theme
Each month gives us something practical to explore without creating a pile of content you need to catch up on.
Small Sprints
Small, defined experiments designed to make starting feel more approachable. Some are timed. Others use a number of items or actions as the finish line.
Practical tools
We experiment with strategies in everyday life and notice what actually helps, rather than assuming one approach will suit everyone.
Monthly body doubling
We meet via Zoom and work while other people are present and working on their thing too.
A private Voxer community
Share something, ask a question, celebrate a win or quietly follow along. Participation is always your choice.
A defined finish line. No requirement to keep going once you've reached it.
Progress doesn't only count when the whole task is finished.
Surprising, huh? And there's a reason why.
Your whole life, you may have experienced overwhelm when approaching tasks you find boring or difficult.
You may have also learned that the value was in finishing the task. So the next time you think about starting, your brain can already be anticipating everything involved in getting it finished. Overwhelm kicks in, and then comes avoidance.
So, we start to reset that.
Instead of only measuring success by completion, we start noticing progress and small moments of effort.
Some Sprints are timed, typically for three, five, seven or nine minutes. Other Sprints are measured by a number of items or actions.
Once you reach the stated finish line, you've done the Sprint. Continuing is optional.
The aim is to experiment with a different, more neuroaffirming way of approaching the things you want or need to do. Productivity is a side effect, if it happens at all.
You don't have to work it all out on your own.
Private Voxer community
This is where the group can share experiences, ask questions, notice wins and talk about what happened when you tried something.
You can contribute as much or as little as you want. There is no pressure to participate publicly and no backlog you need to catch up on.
Monthly body doubling via Zoom
We often have a theme, but you are welcome to do your own task while other people are present and working on their thing too.
Bring the email, paperwork, washing, a project, drawer or life admin you've been meaning to start.
I check Voxer every day between 8 and 9 am to respond to questions and comments.
A psychologist who also knows ADHD from the inside.
I'm Stephanie Green, a psychologist with 17 years of experience, and I also have lived experience of ADHD.
My professional experience helps me explain some of the psychology underneath the patterns we're exploring. My lived experience also means I know what it's like to understand what you're "supposed" to do and still find that knowing isn't always the same as doing.
I created these groups to give you a place to understand your patterns, experiment with practical strategies and discover what actually works for your brain, with less self-judgement and internal pressure.
Cancel anytime.
FAQ
Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?
No. The groups are for adults with ADHD and adults who think they might have ADHD. You don't need to provide evidence of a diagnosis.
How long are the Small Sprints?
There isn't one fixed length. Some Sprints are timed, typically for three, five, seven or nine minutes. Other Sprints are measured by a number of items or actions.
Once you reach the stated finish line, you've done the Sprint. Continuing is optional.
Do I have to participate in the Voxer group?
No. You can share, ask questions, celebrate a win or quietly follow along. There is no pressure to participate publicly.
What is body doubling?
Body doubling means doing your own task while other people are present and working on theirs. Our monthly body doubling session happens online via Zoom, so you can join from wherever you are.
What if I fall behind?
There is no backlog to complete. You can come back to the current theme or experiment whenever you're ready.
How much does the ADHD Skills & Support Group for Adults cost?
Current group membership is $30 per month. You can cancel anytime.
Is this psychological therapy?
No. These are educational skills and support groups. They are not individual psychological therapy, ADHD assessment, crisis support or urgent mental health support.
You don't need to fix anything. We just experiment with doing things in a neuroaffirming way.
You can start with one small experiment.
