The Cognitive Canopy

This is ADHD-awesome on so many levels 🤣

This is a great book for understanding time mismanagement, procrastination & impulsivity associated with ADHD. I frequently reference this book in my practice and encourage others struggling with ex*****on function skills to check it out as provides excellent psychoeducation and coping skills.

🤣🤣🤣 This is F$ # HILARIOUS 🤣🤣🤣
discusses having ADD and made it SO funny...I have said it before and I will say it again; ADHDers are often so DAMN SMART and TALENTED, we just need to find our passion and interest and learn how to harness it 🤩🤸‍♂️🐿️

Yoodles 👋🏼 It's Laurel, the face behind The Cognitive Canopy: Psychotherapy & Support for the Neurodiverse Community 🤸🏽‍♀️🤘🏼I also have ADHD, so I "practice what I preach" 🐿️.

I went back to school at 41 and completed a Master of Counselling Psychology in May...with Honours 🎓✨ And yes, I am pretty damn proud of this accomplishment, as I did not think was possible for myself until I turned 40.

Getting to the point where I felt confident enough to tackle a Masters meant that I had been treating my ADHD & anxiety consistently for the previous 5 years; meaning a combination of medication, psychoeducation, ADHD coaching & therapy, as well as adequate sleep, diet and supplements, etc. In other words, the effective treatment of ADHD requires a holistic and comprehensive approach; I found what works for my ADHD and now assist my clients to find their optimal approach to neurodiversity.

I look forward to sharing my personal and professional perspectives of ADHD with you, under 🌿 The Cognitive Canopy 🌿
