Summary

Adult ADHD: A Blessing and a Curse

Wondering if you have Adult ADHD, or suspicious you do? Want to take an "Adult ADHD Test?"

Here's the first test: Does the fact that this is a podcast about ADHD rather than a written article make you feel relieved? (Because you can run / clean / drive / keep futzing around with whatever you want to instead of having to sit still for a REALLY LONG TIME (like 8 minutes) and laboriously read through an article and take a quiz?)

Ding ding!

On today's episode of The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast, we're talking about how to tell the difference between garden-variety disorganization and real-deal ADHD. I'll give you an "Adult ADHD Quiz" to help you determine if you might have it, or if someone you love may struggle with it. I'll also be sharing some strategies you can use to conquer Adult ADHD, and rise to your magnificent potential.

Check out the video and book resources I mentioned on the podcast at www.growingself.com/adult-adhd-test.

0:00.0	This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.
0:47.6	Thank you. Hi everybody, and that's The Knife with their song networking from their 2013 album, Shaking the Habitual.
0:58.5	I like that song because I have never heard a sonic representation that really captures the experience of having ADHD the way that song does.
0:59.6	I do not know if that was the intention of the knife when they made that song, but that's
1:04.3	what I took away from it.
1:05.3	And I thought I would share it with you today.
1:07.0	Because that is our topic is adult ADHD to consider whether or not you might have it
1:15.6	or someone that you are trying to have a relationship with might have it just some some things to be
1:23.4	aware of clues that might help you figure out if you if you are someone you love has it or not,
1:28.9	and then, of course, most importantly, what to do if you suspect that you may.
1:35.0	So that's our topic today.
1:36.5	But first of all, let me start all of this by introducing myself, particularly if this is your first time listening to the
1:45.9	love, happiness, and success podcast. You might not know me yet. So I am Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby.
1:54.2	My background is kind of threefold. I'm trained as a marriage and family therapist, also as a psychologist. So I did a
2:03.6	master's degree in counseling, which trained me as a marriage and family therapist. And then I did a
2:07.4	PhD in counseling, which trained me as a psychologist. And then after all that, I became a board
2:13.0	certified life coach, just to have a more direct way of being able to help people who are ready for
2:19.7	that sort of thing. And I am the founder and clinical director of growing self-counseling and
2:26.6	coaching, which is in Denver, Colorado. And it's a counseling and coaching practice. I like to tell people
2:33.7	that we specialize in helping our clients create love, happiness, and success.
2:40.0	And at this point, you know, we're physically based in Denver, but I kind of feel like we are counselors and coaches to the world because we work with a lot of people online at this point through Skype, through
2:51.7	FaceTime.
