This week's column isn't drawn from a question, but simply answers the question..."Why am I doing this column?"
Q.
What is the goal of "Ask Sari..."?
A.
My hope is that this "Ask Sari..." column will be a way for me to offer my perspective as a psychotherapist who has seen and heard the inner experiences and struggles of men and women with AD/HD and watched them over a course of time, from before they are diagnosed to after diagnosis and treatment. I've seen what works and what doesn't, how some people begin to thrive and others get stuck. I want to share this process with readers as well as hear from them about their individual stories.
I'd like this Q & A column to be about your feelings, your conflicts, your dreams; Questions about how to communicate, how to maintain relationship, discussions of counseling issues so that people don't have to feel stuck. To understand the true purpose of treatment and find success in your life I will give you my perspective of not trying to "get over" who you are, but to become more of who you actually are.
So please write me about your own experiences, questions about yourself or adults with ADD in general, about how other people have found ways to work out relationships and their lives and have found new ways to view themselves
I will try to group your questions together into categories and probably redirect certain topics to other experts. I'll be telling you from time to time about different workshops, products or services that I am involved in, as well as anything else I recommend or have a comment on.
- Warmest regards, Sari
