Neurosomatic Intelligence: A Key to Managing ADHD
As an ADHD adult, coach and mental health education consultant, I understand the unique challenges that individuals with ADHD face. One of the most promising tools for managing these challenges is neurosomatic intelligence. This approach recognises the profound connection between the brain and the body, emphasising the importance of becoming attuned to our nervous system.
