ADOPTED WOMEN WITH ADHD
You hold everything together on the outside, while inside it can feel like chaos
You find it hard to ask for help because somewhere along the way, you learned you should manage on your own
A hint of rejection stays with you long after everyone else has moved on
You second-guess your opinions and sometimes wonder who you'd be without the mask
Maybe you recognised ADHD in your child first and then began to recognise it in yourself
You're capable and successful, yet part of you is waiting to be found out
HERE'S WHAT OFTEN CHANGES THROUGH COACHING
From rejection to resilience: understanding why it hits so hard, and recovering more quickly
From shame to self-worth: letting go of the belief that something is wrong with you
From loss to belonging: making space for what was lost while building connection now
From grief to gentleness: allowing feelings without being overwhelmed by them
From identity questions to integration: bringing your adoption story and your ADHD into one picture of who you are
From guardedness to intimacy: letting people closer without losing yourself
From control to calm: understanding where the urge to control comes from, so you can choose when to step back
WHAT SOME OF MY CLIENTS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME
"I worked with Petra around a parenting issue and found the experience genuinely supportive and grounding. They were calm, friendly, and very welcoming, and listened with real attentiveness to a complex situation I was describing. What stood out was their ability to hold and track all the different strands I was sharing, and to ask perceptive, well-timed questions. Those questions helped ease the immediate stress I was carrying, while also gently directing my attention to something important that I hadn't noticed myself, but which they had clearly picked up on. I left the session feeling more settled and with a clearer perspective." T.B
"Working with Petra feels grounding and genuinely supportive. She has this way of holding up a mirror, not to criticize, but to help me actually hear the things I say to myself and start meeting them with more compassion. Instead of walking away with a to-do list, I leave our sessions with real insight and next steps that feel like mine, not someone else’s system I have to force myself into. Petra’s calm, thoughtful presence makes it easy to be honest and authentic, even when things feel messy. She asks the kind of questions that help me shift my perspective and reconnect with what actually matters." A.J.
"I highly recommend Petra to anyone seeking support in their ADHD journey. Her empathetic nature and commitment to empowerment have been guiding me, and I am confident she can help many others find balance and understanding in their lives." Vanessa B, Global Technology Manager.
