Do you struggle to get focused? Or perhaps you get focused but then get distracted? When you have ADHD this happens more often, so how do you get back on track?

Well tonight that's exactly what we're exploring during "Focus Like a Lazer Beam", when we go live with ADHDUK at 1900-2000 BST.

We will:

* explore why this happens more often with ADHD
* share experiences, strategies that help
* I will be sharing some simple but powerful strategies and resources on how to improve focus
* Finally, we will explore the HART system of attentional recovery.

HART - Hypnotic Attention Recovery Technique.

I will be sharing HART which is a system of attentional control and recovery from distraction, utilising simple principles of neurodivergent psychology powered by hypnosis.

This event is open to anyone, and is donation based to support charity ADHDUK. Tonight’s class is live at 7pm UK time:

🇬🇧 7pm BST
🇮🇪 7pm IST
🇺🇸/🇨🇦 2pm Eastern / 1pm Central / 12pm Mountain / 11am Pacific

I look forward to spending time with
you soon!

People with ADHD are often told they have an attention deficit—yet anyone with ADHD knows it is not a lack of attention, but an inconsistency of attention.

What if constantly stopping and starting isn’t just ADHD “shiny object syndrome”?

Novelty and dopamine can be part of it—but sometimes, something deeper is happening.

You consciously want to move forward, yet beneath the surface, your beliefs, emotions and sense of identity may not fully align with the action you’re trying to take.

So you try another planner, productivity system or programme. It works for a while…until it doesn’t. Then the search begins again.

But what if nothing has truly stuck because the deeper pattern has never been addressed?

In my free live online session, **The ADHD Performance Trap**, we’ll explore what may really be driving this cycle, how subconscious change work and hypnosis can help—and you’ll experience a brief taste of hypnosis for yourself.

🌀 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐄 𝐇𝐘𝐏𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄?

There’s only one way to find out…

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞!

On Wednesday 30 September, I’m hosting the very first:

🌀 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐇𝐘𝐏𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

This isn’t simply “close your eyes and imagine you’re on a beach”—although there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! 🌊

It’s an active and engaging introduction to hypnosis—what I call 𝐇𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨:

✅ Experience hypnosis live

✅ Explore how your mind responds to imagination, attention and suggestion

✅ Choose a personal performance intention

✅ Direct the hypnosis towards something meaningful you want to improve

✅ Discover whether anything changes in how ready and able you feel to take your next step

Your intention might involve focus, confidence, procrastination, follow-through, performing under pressure or protecting your energy.

Many people wonder:

❓ “𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝?”

Or:

❓ “𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐬?”

You may discover that qualities such as imagination, absorption, sensitivity and hyperfocus can actually help you engage with hypnosis.

In other words:

“I work best under pressure.”

I hear this from people with ADHD all the time.

And the interesting thing is… they’re often right.

Urgency can sharpen focus, help us get started and produce some pretty impressive bursts of productivity.

The problem isn’t that pressure works.

It’s when pressure becomes the only way you can work!

I’ve written about why this happens in my latest blog (or video if you prefer), why it can contribute to the familiar perform → crash → recover cycle, and how we can begin developing other ways to perform.

Do you find you work better when there’s a deadline looming — or have you found ways to get moving without the pressure?

Why do people with ADHD work best under pressure — and then burn out? Learn why ADHD brains rely on urgency and stress for focus, and how to build more sustainable performance.

One reason many high-performing people with ADHD stay stuck...

is that they're trying to take steps that are too big.

They set ambitious goals.

Create detailed plans.

Commit to major changes.

And then wonder why they struggle to follow through.

It's rarely because they're lazy.

And it's not usually because they lack motivation.

Often, the problem is that the next step feels too large for their nervous system.

When something feels overwhelming, the brain looks for relief - not progress.

So instead of doing the thing...

we procrastinate.

Avoid.

Overthink.

Or suddenly find something else that feels urgent.

This is one reason I believe sustainable performance is less about discipline and more about regulation.

When I work with ADHD professionals and entrepreneurs, we're often not trying to get them to do more.

We're trying to reduce the activation energy required to begin.

Because once movement starts, momentum often follows.

The trick is making the first step small enough that your brain doesn't resist it.

Not:

"I need to write the report."

But:

"Open the document."

Not:

"I need to exercise."

But:

"Put on my trainers."

Not:

"I need to fix my business."

But:

"Send one email."

The most successful ADHD adults I've worked with aren't necessarily the most disciplined.

They're often the people who've learned how to consistently take the next manageable step.

Small actions.

Repeated consistently.

That's where sustainable performance lives.

What's one goal you're making harder than it needs to be?

What's one goal you're making harder than it needs to be?

If you chunked it down into a smaller step that feels like:

"Oh, I could do that..."

What would that step be?

Comment below. The simple act of identifying the next small step often increases the chances you'll actually take it...

The ADHD Belief That's Sabotaging Your Success...

One of the biggest mistakes I see ADHD professionals and entrepreneurs make is assuming they need a better system.

A new planner.

A new app.

A new productivity method.

A new morning routine.

And don't get me wrong — systems matter.

But what if the real problem isn't your system?

What if it's what you believe about yourself?

And your belief is sabotaging any system you might use?

In his work on behaviour change, Nir Eyal describes what he calls the Motivation Triangle.

To create lasting change, we need three things:

✔ Belief
✔ Facilitation (making it easier)
✔ Triggers (reminders and prompts)

Most people focus almost entirely on the last two.

They buy the planner.

Install the app blocker.

Set up reminders.

Create accountability.

But they neglect the first corner of the triangle.

Belief.

Because if you genuinely believe:

"I'm inconsistent."
"I never follow through."
"I always lose momentum."
"I can only work under pressure."
"It's not meant to be this hard... I can't cope."

Then every new system is fighting an uphill battle.

Your brain will unconsciously look for evidence that confirms what it already believes to be true.

And eventually many people conclude:

"That system didn't work."

or worse still:

"Nothing seems to work for me!"

When in reality...

The system may have been fine.

The belief wasn't.

This is one reason I'm so passionate about hypnosis for ADHD and allistic minds.

Not because hypnosis magically solves everything.

But because many neurodivergent people have already spent years trying to think their way into believing something different.

Reading affirmations.
Repeating positive statements.
Being reminded of their strengths.
Receiving encouragement from others.

And yet a part of them still quietly (or very loudly!) says:

"Yes, but..."

Hypnosis is different because it works closer to where many of these patterns begin - in the subconscious...
..The stories we tell ourselves.

(After all, we become the story we tell ourselves, or the story that others tell about us!)
..The assumptions we carry.
..The identities we rehearse every day without even noticing.

In short, sustainable performance for ADHD professionals and entrepreneurs isn't just about managing your calendar.

It's about changing the relationship you have with yourself.

And sometimes...

The belief is the missing piece of your jigsaw puzzle.

Because when you change your beliefs, you get to rewrite your story, and turn it into reality one thought one step at a time...

So I'm curious to know: What's one belief about yourself you've started questioning recently? And what difference did that make?

If you have ADHD, there’s a good chance you’ve said this before:

“I work best under pressure.”

Or maybe:

“I can only focus when it becomes urgent.”

The strange thing is…

for many ADHD people, that actually feels true.

Deadlines sharpen focus.
Urgency cuts through procrastination.
Last-minute pressure suddenly unlocks motivation.

And for a while, it works.

But what many people don’t realise is:

you may not be relying on a productivity system…

⚠️ you may be relying on stress chemistry.

Because when pressure rises:
• adrenaline increases
• cortisol rises
• attention narrows
• distractions fade

In other words:

🧠 stress creates focus.

The problem is not that adrenaline works.

The problem is when it becomes the ONLY way your nervous system knows how to perform.

That’s when you start seeing:
• inconsistent performance
• hyperfocus → burnout cycles
• emotional crashes
• needing urgency just to begin

From the outside it can look like poor discipline.

But internally, it’s often something very different:

⚡ state-dependent performance.

One week:
high-performing, focused, productive.

The next:
unable to engage at all.

This is why so many ADHD professionals feel like “two different people.”

The goal isn’t necessarily to eliminate pressure completely.

It’s to stop being dependent on it.

Because sustainable performance doesn’t come from intensity alone.

It comes from stability.

I and many of my clients used to rely on deadlines and adrenaline-only activation, until we learned how to activate our ADHD brains in other ways.

HypnoCoaching can show us how to get things done with more focus and enjoyment, turning a boring task into something more engaging, something we want to do - or at the very least can do.

I made a video breaking this down in more detail — including why adrenaline-based productivity happens in ADHD, why it backfires long-term, and what healthier performance can start to look like.

Curious:
Have you noticed yourself becoming dependent on pressure to function?

If you feel like you only work under pressure…and then crash…This is why....Many ADHD professionals rely on pressure, urgency, and deadlines to get things do...

If you’ve ever been told that ADHD brains can’t be hypnotised or that hypnosis is some kind of mind‑control trick… this video will feel like a breath of fresh air.

I’m Jamie Vasilyan, a Clinical Neurodivergent Hypnotherapist and ADHD coach — and today I’m breaking down the biggest ADHD hypnosis myths that keep people stuck, misinformed, or doubting their own potential.

In this video, you’ll learn more about hypnosis and why it's ideal if you are ADHD or autistic. It's called ADHD hypnosis or neurodivergent hypnosis for a reason!

If you’ve ever wondered whether hypnosis is safe, effective, or even possible for ADHD… you deserve the truth.
