What if therapy isn’t actually helping your ADHD child at all? Most parents put their ADHD kids in therapy hoping it will finally calm the chaos, but in this episode I talk about why so many families see zero change at home. Therapy teaches insight, but ADHD is an access problem, not an awareness problem. I explain why traditional talk therapy can accidentally make them feel broken, and how coaching, structure, and in-the-moment tools help them activate their brains. If your mornings, homework battles, or emotional blowups haven’t improved despite years of therapy, this episode will help you understand what your child truly needs and why nothing is wrong with them, they simply need a framework designed for their wiring.
