Coaching is different from talk therapy in that it's focused on more action-oriented, future-oriented concerns. For example, in therapy, you'll talk about WHY / WHERE a specific thought process came from, vs. in therapy you'll talk about how you can design your life in a way that minimizes impact of this thought process. Things like calendar design, routine design, how you do to do lists, skills you may need to learn, the list goes on. These are things that ADHD coaches are trained on and things that therapists likely won't support with. Also, coaching is about accountability so things like check-ins throughout the week and nudge/reminders are a key part of ADHD coaching but not therapy. Also many of our clients have done (or are currently doing) therapy and come to Shimmer because their therapist suggested it. And on your point of medication, many people do not want to take medication (cultural or other reasons), or cannot take medication (e.g. side effects or can't mix with their other meds).
