Focus with Faigy

This is an excellent course. So many of these courses are filled with fluff and take forever to say what could be said in a few minutes. That is not the case here! It's all worthwhile. And I don't even have ADHD.

I'd been struggling with my adhd and was looking for help. Fortunately we found Faigy online and noted her qualifications. I attended coaching sessions with my partner and we both gained so much from it. I found it very enlightning to learn all the traits that come with adhd and it helped me understand myself better and be aware I'm too critical of myself. I was nervous initially and didn't know what to expect, she made me feel comfortable and was very understanding. As our sessions carried on, she opened up our minds and helped us cope better. We learned a lot but it was never overwhelming, Faigy delivered at our pace. It was really brilliant. I was curious about medication, Faigy put us in touch with someone who could get me a formal diagnosis. I'm now on meds which have worked well for me along with Faigy's tips and coaching. We are so grateful to her, she has helped me understand myself so much better.

A lot more self aware. Aware of my habits, behaviours, patterns. I am able to think about my reactions better before I act or respond. I can notice better also what is tripping me up back into old habits and try and resolve the issues. I know a lot of my bad habits better know, such as forgetfulness, which means I am taking time to put things into place so they are less likely to trip me up. I am able to manage my emotions better and they are less likely to stop me from keeping on working. I still feel them like my depression but I am able to reduce it stopping me from being able to get through my day. I am a lot calmer even though I am still highly anxious, I am regulating it a lot better, I am able to be with it without it flooding me. Part of the calm comes being able to organise my self and life much better. I understand my work flow pattern better and am able to organise ahead to get stuff done on time but sometimes in advance which has taken a lot of stress off. I can also break goals down so I understand how to start them better rather than shutting down with overwhelm and getting nothing done at all. Its helping me finally be able to visualise a future. I am also better at keeping things simple and getting rid of excess which clears my mind a lot. Im holding on to things less. My mind is more clear and my thoughts make more sense. When they do not, I can usually track back to why, such as meds wearing off or my period is due. Overall, I feel a bit more better in my self and feel like I am starting to access my potential for the first time. I have so much to do but it doesnt feel like a chaotic jumble, Im finally able to put a path together and with better confidence. Im not using ADHD as a reason why I cant do something now, but more of something I need to factor in as I work out how to navigate myself in a task or goal to be able to move forward.

I had 16 weekly sessions. In this time, this is what I have gained from working with Faigy. I got diagnosed with ADHD. I realised that the meds alone were not enough. I realised that I needed to learn skills as well. Through coaching I learned to have confidence. Before coaching, I had no confidence in getting somewhere with my ADHD. I felt like it was a permanent disability that I couldn't do anything about. I now feel normal, and I don't feel like my life is a mistake. I used to feel broken. Now I have got the skills that I was lacking; time management, and self-awareness being high on the list. I can now reflect on past events in my life, and I can now learn from them. I couldn't do it before. This is a major life skill that has helped me immensely. I learned to recognise how to work through my struggles in life. I learned that I need to talk to people more, and talk through my problems more. In the past I just bottled things up. I learned that my brain processes through talking to others. When I was young I was told to just be quiet because I talked too much. I learned to ignore my feelings and bottle things up. Now I talk through my feelings and what I will do in the day. It helps me to remember and to clarify things. I learned to recognise parts of me that were always there but I didn't realise it. No matter what effort I applied I always failed. Horrible weight to carry. Coaching lifted that from me, I feel less anxious socially. I can recognise patterns in relationships and focus on the things that improve the relationships. I could make friends yet I felt abandoned, and I felt like I had no friends. My ADHD prevented me from maintaining friendships. I have become more self aware in this area. Everything is clicking more and I feel more supported by me and less alone.
