ABSTRACT

BRENDA AND ROBERTO Imagine escorting Brenda and Roberto, your new clients, into your office and hearing the following story: Both are 36 years old, married for 13 years and the parents of two girls, ages 8 and 11. Brenda, who works at home designing websites, expresses finding relief in her diagnosis of ADHD one year ago. It explained so many lifetime struggles, especially around meeting deadlines and completing projects as she shifted from full-time mom to part-time work when both the girls were in school. Simply naming the problem, however, hasn’t solved her problems, she says, and Roberto is the first to agree.
