Toronto, Ontario – We’ve all left our house and forgotten our phone or walked into a room and forgotten why, but for those diagnosed with ADHD, multiply that by 1000.

According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately eight million adults suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD, a neurotransmitter disorder caused by an inefficiency of dopamine in the brain. People with ADHD often experience difficulty focusing, organizing and prioritizing effectively. The obvious struggles are school and work, but relationships can also be difficult.

But is life ever an adventure for an ADDer. They’re spontaneous and creative. They know how to have fun and be in the moment. It’s a terrific brain wiring. It’s just tough in some situations. That’s why you work with an ADHD coach.

“People think ADHD is about a lack of focus, but it’s not that you can’t focus; it’s that you focus on everything and can’t prioritize what’s important,” says ADHD coach Catherine Bray. “So you can see why purpose is important for an ADDer.”

Bray is the founder of On Purpose Life Strategies. As an adult with ADHD, the mother of an ADHD child and a trained ADHD Coach Specialist, Bray believes that ADHD is a gift, not a grim diagnosis. While ADHD can certainly offer its share of challenges, it can offer just as many delightful opportunities and bring a positive energy to life.

“They call it a disorder, but I just think it’s the way your brain is wired,” says Bray. “ADHD coaching helps these individuals to identify their tendencies and create pragmatic strategies to stay focused and function more efficiently in life.”
