The Power of ADHD Coaching: What Science Says About Its Benefits for Teens
The research is in! ADHD coaching might just be the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed.
Sure, it’s not a replacement for therapy or meds, but research shows that it can be an awesome addition to your toolkit for managing ADHD. Let’s break down what the research says about how ADHD coaching can seriously up your game.
Getting Your Daily Life Together
Ever feel like keeping up with daily tasks is a never-ending struggle? You’re not alone, and that’s where ADHD coaching comes in. A study in the Journal of Attention Disorders found that people who did ADHD coaching got way better at handling everyday stuff like organising their time, completing assignments, and just generally keeping it together. Another study by the Edge Foundation looked at college students and found that those who had ADHD coaching improved their time management and study skills and felt more confident handling schoolwork. This shows that coaching isn’t just about getting through the day—it’s about thriving in whatever you’re doing.
Managing Your Emotions Like a Pro
ADHD isn’t just about getting distracted; it also messes with your emotions sometimes. The good news? ADHD coaching can help with that too. A study in The ADHD Report found that people who worked with coaches were better at dealing with stress and anxiety. Coaches help you figure out what triggers your emotions and how to handle them better. This means fewer freakouts and more chill moments, making life a whole lot smoother.
Building That Confidence
Struggling with ADHD can sometimes make you doubt yourself, but coaching can help flip the script. Research from the International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring found that ADHD coaching boosted self-confidence big time. As you start to nail down new skills and see progress, your belief in yourself grows. This confidence boost is huge, especially if you’ve felt down about not being able to keep up before. When you believe in yourself, you’re more likely to take on new challenges and crush your goals.
Long-Term Wins
Here’s the best part: the benefits of ADHD coaching don’t just disappear when the sessions end. The Edge Foundation did a follow-up study and found that students who went through coaching kept using the skills they learned long after. This means the strategies you pick up during coaching can keep helping you out in the long run, making life with ADHD a lot more manageable.
Wrapping It Up
The research is clear: ADHD coaching can seriously help you get a handle on your daily life, manage your emotions, boost your confidence, and set you up for long-term success. It’s not just about dealing with ADHD—it’s about turning it into your superpower. If you’re looking for a way to take control and thrive, ADHD coaching might be just what you need.
