Episode 31: AD(H)S in adults: Chaos or strength?
AD(H)S is not a "trend diagnosis", but a chronic disorder that is often recognized late and affects many areas of life - from career choices to relationships. We talk to AD(H)S coach Sabina Pahlke about symptoms, diagnosis and strategies that help people to understand themselves better. We also show what strengths people with AD(H)S have and how they can develop their potential.
How is AD(H)S diagnosed in adults? What are the symptoms and what challenges can an unrecognized diagnosis bring?
In our podcast, we also highlight the strengths that people with AD(H)S bring to the table - especially in their professional lives - and take a look at the impact of AD(H)S on relationships and the family.
Today's guest is Sabina Pahlke, systemic supervisor and counselor, mother of two young adults with AD(H)S and experienced AD(H)S parent coach for over 10 years.
