(WC 150522 LYONS 2026) Procrastination and Mental Blocks The Ultimate Toolbox of Strategies for ADHD, Executive Functioning

Course overview

20+ movement and sensory strategies to spark attention and action Turnkey solutions to enhance motivation and executive functioning Client handouts to teach self-talk, if/then plans & more to replace avoidance with action I can't count how many times I've heard it: "I want to ... I just can't get myself to do it." They've got the insight. The plan. The support. But still - no follow-through. I've been there too. As both a clinician and a coach, I've worked with neurodiverse kids, teens, and adults who had the insight, the goals, and even the support - but still couldn't move forward. And no amount of "try harder" advice ever helped. That gap between knowing and doing used to frustrate me, too. Until I realized the problem wasn't discipline - it was how we define and activate motivation. This training was born out of the challenges I've faced with neurodiverse clients who were labeled "lazy" or "unmotivated" - when in reality, their brains just needed a different approach. In this workshop, I'll show you what traditional models miss - how sensory processing, dopamine dysregulation, and executive dysfunction are at the heart of shutdowns, procrastination, and stuckness. And I'll give you brain-based, body-informed strategies that actually work. You'll learn how to: Leverage brain-body strategies to prime the brain for action Teach discipline as a scaffolded skill, not a personality trait Rewire self-talk and shift inner narratives to support sustainable change Boost task initiation and follow-through with behavioral neuroscience-based tools Whether you're a mental health clinician or a rehab professional, you'll walk away with clear, practical techniques you can use the next day - no fluff, no shame, and no cookie-cutter advice. Just real tools for real brains.
