    Anxiety, the tightness in your chest, shoulders rising up toward your ears, dry mouth, sweaty palms, heart pounding…sound / feel familiar? Anxiety goes hand-in-hand with ADHD, the flip into fight/flight/freeze when you feel overwhelmed, when you tell yourself you are not measuring up (again), when you worry you will fail again. Negative self-talk and fear of what will happen triggers cortisol, the stress response hormone which gears your brain up for action. Cortisol also cuts off the pathways to the think-things-through parts of your brain, the executive function part. Constant stress keeps cortisol levels high, interfering with thought processing, memory, attention and keeping hypervigilance going. That is exhausting !

    What if you could drop your anxiety levels in half within 5 minutes? What if you had the tools to do that with you all the time? Tapping is an Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT changes brain chemistry, changes self-perception, opening up more possibilities than fight/flight/freeze reactions. My guest in this episode is Theresa Lear Levine, a Master EFT Practitioner who has lived the overwhelmed anxious life and transformed that into a lower stress confident approach to life. We discuss how EFT works and how to use it, when to use it, and even demonstrate the process! Theresa has many resources available for us to learn more about EFT, many are free and can get you started.

ADHD Focus with David Pomeroy, MD

Dr. Pomeroy has practiced Family Medicine in a variety of settings in the Pacific Northwest since completing his Family Practice Residency training program in Seattle in 1979, after having the good sense to move out west from the East Coast where he was raised. He did full-spectrum Family Practice including care of patients in hospital, delivering babies, assisting at surgery, and maintaining a busy office practice while in private practice in Puyallup and Gig Harbor then with large multi-specialty practices in primary care offices in Redmond and Issaquah.

When primary care office practice degenerated into a blur of “see patients every 15 minutes” and “come back if you have a second problem”, he left it behind in 2005 to start his practice specializing in the field of ADHD. Over the past 10 years he has evaluated over 3000 patients of all ages and managed their care for ADHD and a variety of co-occurring disorders.

He is well versed in all aspects of ADHD. He has presented talks to lay and professional groups and participates actively in the nationalADHD community. He continues to add to his working knowledge of ADHD by listening to his patients, attending national meetings of ADHD specialists as well as keeping up to date with research in the field reported in ADHD professional journals.

In his spare time he enjoys long-distance cycling, Lindy Hop swing dancing, listening to music of all genres (not much country…), skiing and being outdoors in the great Pacific Northwest.
