I am desperate for a coach. The therapists I’m currently seeing are not providing actionable advice. We spend most of our sessions introspecting and self-validating, which has run its course.

I’ve been on the hunt for a life coach of sorts who specializes in ADHD. Ideally someone who’s familiar with tech employees & entrepreneurs, but I’m probably chasing a unicorn.

What helped you? Traditional psychotropics? Psychedelics?
