Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be thought of as brain wiring with a two-level system. One is the automatic brain, which is automatic behavior, and the other is the executive functioning brain that is very effortful and is needed to engage itself to override the automatic brain. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Wes Gray (www.areyouadd.com), diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, after which he had a stroke. His experience of coming back from the stroke and his need to be more self-aware and to pause to engage his executive functioning actually helped him begin to manage his ADHD like never before. If you have ADHD and struggle with self-regulation and learning the power of the pause, this is a show you won't want to miss. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or adults who have children with ADHD. Attention Talk Radio, hosted by attention coach Jeff Copper, is designed to help adults and children (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated. It will help adults and children get unstuck and moving forward by helping to open their minds and pay attention to what works. Attention Talk Radio host Jeff Copper is an ADHD coach.
