Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Phil discusses the systematic approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD in patients of all ages. His focus on providing comprehensive care through assessments, treatment, and support services reflects a shift towards acknowledging and accepting ADHD as a neurodiverse condition that requires attention and understanding. Phil emphasizes the importance of addressing skepticism towards ADHD diagnosis and the benefits of medication and accommodations for individuals with ADHD. He advocates for improved outcomes and quality of life, using examples like comparing ADHD medication side effects to common pain relievers and discussing the necessity of accommodations, such as extended time in exams, to support individuals with ADHD in achieving success. Phil emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices in advocating for ADHD acceptance and treatment. By using medical evidence and a data-driven approach, Phil aims to address funding battles and challenge misconceptions about ADHD in the National Health Service and educational institutions, with the goal of making positive impacts on individuals' lives through evidence-backed interventions and treatment options. Phil explains digitized clinic processes streamline patient journeys and enhance assessments through video conferences. By offering assessments in patients' homes, the clinic reduces anxiety associated with in-person visits, leading to more accurate results and improved patient outcomes. Phil and Diane explain the ADHD diagnosis process can be simplified by blending qualitative and quantitative data. By using screening tools, DSM criteria, and semi-structured interviews, clinicians can streamline the diagnostic process to a few hours of focused assessment.

  • Ep. 157: Balancing Boundaries to Stop Emotional Parenting
    Apr 10 2024

His new book, The 4 Prime Archetypes- Why we do what we do is out! It is personality profiling at it’s best! Get ready to point fingers at your loved ones, take a good long look in the mirror and understand WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO. Aaron is an internationally known lecturer on archetypal imagery, body language, and martial arts and the Founder and President of Fire Mountain Programs, and since 2004 has run kids camps, teen camps, and family programming. In 2009, he and his wife Christine opened a residential Mental Health and Dependency recovery treatment center for teens ages 12-17 in Colorado. Fire Mountain Residential Treatment Center was in 2019 named one of the Top 50 Healthcare Providers in the United States and in 2020 named one of the Top 100 Innovators in Healthcare. He was also recently (2022) inducted into the US Martial Arts Hall of Fame. 23 years in personal addiction recovery, Aaron is also VERY ADHD... and it is his superpower. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Aaron Huey about emotional parenting. How to Talk to Your Complex Kids [and Other Important Relationships] Strained communication can create a hot mess of misunderstanding and conflict -- whether it's with your kids or any significant relationship in your life. In this FREE guide, you'll discover your role in communication dynamics and 10 simple but effective ways to help you build more trust and calm in your communication with your complex kids -- and any relationship. Here is what to expect on this week’s show: Aaron emphasizes the significance of a parenting approach with strong boundaries, influenced by his parents' progressive attitudes with stern, traditional discipline and expectations. He credits his mom and stepdad for instilling in him the value of setting strong boundaries while supporting and uplifting children. This approach reflects a modern understanding that focuses on empowering children while maintaining clear guidelines and expectations. Aaron advocates for parents to acknowledge past parenting approaches, embrace radical change, and commit to making necessary adjustments for a better future. He emphasizes the importance of parents doing their inner work, healing past wounds, and being present for their children in a way that meets their needs. Neurodiversity Informed Coaching focuses on understanding behaviors as symptoms of underlying struggles, teaching parents coaching skills to support their children. By recognizing that behaviors are often solutions to unmet needs like safety, power, connection, freedom, and worth, parents can approach their children's actions with empathy. Parenting strategies involve understanding the reasons for a child's behavior and avoiding emotional reactions. By analyzing the why behind a child's actions, parents can address root causes rather than just reacting. Aaron stresses the significance of expressing love and support, emphasizing that the love we withhold is the pain we carry, affecting not only ourselves but also our children and relationships. By creating a space for open communication, understanding, and empathy, individuals can navigate the challenges of parenting and relationships with compassion and resilience.
