Most people associate TDAH with restless children or distracted teenagers. But Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder isn’t just a childhood challenge – it’s a complex neurodevelopmental condition that often continues, undiagnosed and misunderstood, into adulthood. It impacts attention, emotional regulation, time management, and stress resilience. And it can shape our lives in ways we don’t even realize.
In this article, ADHD coach Monika Bolcskei shares how her own diagnosis changed everything – and why biofeedback became part of her personal and professional journey.
From burnout to breakthrough
En twenty años ago, I left a mid-management career que had left me drained y burned out. I needed a reset. A few meses later, I began teaching English in a school para neurodivergent niños – kids con TDAH, autismo, y learning differences. As I worked con them, something clicked. Their traits (sensibilidad, creativity, distractibility, emocional intensity) felt familiar a me. Very familiar.
Discovering adult ADHD
Driven by curiosity, I trained as an TDAH coach, focusing on adults who struggled not because they lacked ability, but because their unique brains had never been properly supported. I never suspected I might be one of them – until I decided to better understand the assessment process. So, I went through it myself. “For research,” I told myself.
And then came the diagnosis.
Unmasking myself
It explained so much. Like many women with TDAH, I had masked my symptoms for years. I conformed, coped, and compensated – at a high cost. Underneath it all were ansiedad, depression, and cycles of adicción.
Getting the diagnosis of TDAH didn’t change who I was. It gave me permission to stop pretending and start healing.
Saying no to drugs
Still, the moment of my TDAH diagnosis came with pressure. The psychiatrist urged me toward medication, even warning, “You might not survive without it.” That moment was terrifying. And it was also defining.
Instead, I chose to stay in charge of my own healing, trusting my instincts and exploring a holistic path. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it.
Today, I’m medication-free, addiction-free, and living a grounded, healthy life. And that transformation has made me a better coach, a better trainer, and a more present human being.
Quantum biofeedback
One of the most powerful tools I came across on my journey was biorretroalimentación cuántica.
Quantum biofeedback is a non-invasive technology that assesses stress patterns and rebalances the body’s frequencies using gentle electromagnetic signals. It aligned perfectly with my ADHD coaching work and somatic tools. It didn’t just address symptoms: it supported the whole person: body, brain, and emotion.
Now, as a certified profesional de la biorretroalimentación, I use both coaching and quantum biofeedback to help my clients unlock their potential – and thrive in their uniqueness.
6 tips for dealing with adult ADHD
En el años, I’ve gathered powerful insights ambos as a coach y a través de lived experience como someone diagnosed with TDAH. Here are six de el most practical y transformative tools I recomiende para anyone navigating vida con adult TDAHo supporting someone que is.
If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD
- Track your energy, not just time. Your enfoque follows your nervous system.
- Listen to your body. Feeling overwhelmed and shutting down is a signal, not a failure.
- Routines should be flexible, supporting rather than restricting yourself.
- Speak your needs without shame. Sensitivity, downtime, and creative bursts are all valid.
- Create your own optimal working environment. Light, sound, and texture all impact focus.
- Explore non-medical tools. Biofeedback, coaching, mindfulness, meditación, and ejercicio are powerful allies and non-invasive.
Tips for biofeedback practitioners
- Look for hyper-reactivity and stress load in the nervous system – even without a formal diagnosis.
- Check emotional filtering systems in your protocols.
- Support executive function areas (prefrontal cortex, corpus callosum).
- Be aware of masking behavior – especially in high-functioning adults. Check clients’ conscious and unconscious emotions in the NLP panel.
- Build trust before pushing protocols. Muchos TDAH clients are trauma-informed and sensitive to control.
- Stay curious. TDAH rarely travels alone: watch for sensory, digestive, hormonal, and emotional overlaps.
Final thoughts: what is ADHD?
TDAH means having a different operating system. Properly understanding it can shift everything. By combining the awareness of coaching with the frequency re-education of quantum biofeedback, anyone can move from (barely) coping with TDAH to thriving with it.
So, if this story resonates with you – as a practitioner, a parent, or a fellow traveler – know this: you are not broken. You are just wired differently. And that difference is your superpower.
