ADHD & Somatic Practises

In our quest to support families navigating ADHD, we've uncovered the remarkable impact of incorporating somatic practices into our programs. Somatic practices form a bridge between the mind and body, fostering overall well-being. These practices empower children with ADHD by providing them with essential tools to navigate their emotions.

The Amygdala Connection: Bridging Science and Emotional Wellness

Scientifically, somatic practices directly influence the amygdala, the emotional control center of the brain. Children with ADHD often grapple with an overactive amygdala, contributing to more emotional dysregulation.

Why Somatic Practices Work for ADHD Brains

1. Speedy Rewards: Somatic practices align with the ADHD brain's desire for quick rewards, making it an effective and engaging tool.
2. Emotional Regulation: These practices address emotional dysregulation, overthinking, and anxiety, offering a pathway to emotional balance.
3. Stress Reduction: By reducing the stress response, somatic practices create calm in both the mind and body, fostering relaxation.
4. Clarity and Focus: Somatic practices help children gain clarity and focus, essential skills often challenged by ADHD.
5. Self-Esteem Boost: Engaging in somatic practices contributes to improved self-esteem and encourages self-work, promoting a positive self-image.

Our approach integrates somatic practices seamlessly with lifestyle medicine and health coaching. By addressing sleep patterns, movement and diet, and incorporating coaching techniques, our programs offer families comprehensive support.
