ADHD Meets Mindfulness & CBT - with Liezl Laidlaw

What happens when a CBT therapist with ADHD decides to rewrite the rules on mindfulness? In this episode, I’m joined by Liezl Laidlaw of Rewire Therapy — a therapist who combines mindfulness, CBT and personal insight to support ADHD clients in ways that actually work.We talk honestly about how traditional approaches can fall short, and how small shifts in language, structure and permission can make a huge difference.Whether you’re a therapist who works with ADHD clients, or someone who struggles to make mindfulness or CBT work for you — this episode is packed with ideas to explore.Takeaways:Why traditional mindfulness often fails ADHD clients — and how to adapt itHow CBT can be made more ADHD-friendly (and why “homework” might be a trigger)The power of curiosity and play in therapeutic work with neurodivergent clientsHow to gently bring mindfulness into therapy — even with resistant clientsWhy therapists might benefit from mindfulness themselves, especially between sessionsConnect with Liezl and find out about her course at Rewire TherapySetting up in private practice?
