Tom: Riding big waves of emotion

"I know when it feels like that you want to punch or kick something but you gotta redirect that and figure out another way to work through that, because it's definitely not helpful." - Tom

Tom connects with Hillary over Zoom during a lunch break at work. He's been working to understand and experience his emotions, connect with his wife and kids, and compassionately factor in his ADHD. Hillary is amazed at how far Tom has come from their first session to where he is today, taking the time to take care of himself, and model for his kids how to express big feelings appropriately when they come up. 

Listen for:

• How ADHD affects adults trying to balance parenting, partnership, work life, and their own well-being during the pandemic. 
• How Tom has worked hard to find ways to take care of himself during the days, including checking in with his breath and emotions when he goes to the bathroom. 
• How important it is that Tom is learning to have more and more compassion for himself.
