Labels are only useful for diagnostic purposes … so why give ourselves a label that empowers us!

Just stopped by because your “Unsticking Coach” title intrigued me, over at Heart of Business…

Boy, oh Boy! Have you got this right – about Artistic Brain or ADD?
I am resisting (with all my might) getting “tested” for ADD, and now I can see-feel-recognize another reason, besides “I don’t want the hassles of having a label and a chronic dysfunction”! (That, and I can’t afford either the tests or the diagnosis.)

I love “dentritic” – and the picture of everything making my brain hummmmm like a spider’s web – it’s so spot-on!

On the other hand, the only reason that “ADD” even pings me is because I read a very helpful book this Fall: “You Mean, I’m Not Crazy, Dumb or Lazy??” Before that, I had never gotten a handle on any of the difficulties I’ve had most of my life, with focusing, and finishing, and even getting started. The authors suggest some very worthwhile coping mechanisms, much more functional in the Real World than the work-arounds I developed in grade school!
Plus, just realizing that I wasn’t “the only one” – no matter what you call it – gave me such a relief!

Thank you for giving us yet another way to look at our brain patterns – I like “Artistic” much better than ADD, and it will work just as well, if not better, for finding solutions!

Bright Blessings!
