Breathing for Pattern Interrupt with James Ochoa
James Ochoa is a licensed professional counselor dedicated to treating, understanding and exploring adult ADHD. He lives with ADHD himself and has long demonstrated his introspection and exploration through his work and writing. His book, Focused Forward, gifted us a whole set of new language when we talk about our relationship with ADHD and we’re thrilled he’s back to check in with us today, his SEVENTH appearance on The ADHD Podcast.
And why is he here? Because he’s devoted his work lately on using breathing to interrupt negative patterns. As James tells us, breathing is the only autonomic system in the human body which we can exert direct control over. If we’re not thinking about it, breathing just happens. But if we do think about it, we can speed it up, slow it down, even stop it for a spell. So how do you use it to teach your body some new tricks? We’ll learn from James today!
