ADHD: What is Emotion? Part 1

Dr. Russell Barkley advocates how ADHD is a challenge of self-regulation. Attention and emotion both need to be regulated. At Attention Talk Radio we have created a 3-part series on ADHD and Emotions. In Part 1, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) plays an excerpt of a previous interview with Dr. Russell Barkley where he defines an emotion. Master Certified Coach David Giwerc (http://addca.com), founder of ADD Coach Academy, joins Jeff in discussing Dr. Barkley’s definition. They share their views of Dr. Barkley as a thought leader. Part 2 (http://tobtr.com/10951833) builds on the concept of ADHD and emotional self-regulation by looking at the theoretical steps necessary to manage emotions. Part 3 (http://tobtr.com/10951843) covers how ADHD coaching helps those with ADHD manage emotions within Dr. Barkley’s construct.
