Hyperfocus; Friend or Foe?

Written By Laney Holtgrefe

You’ve been working on a project for a while, someone comes up behind you or even- in front of you- and it startles you! What happened? Perhaps hyperfocus got you?

Hyperfocus can be really helpful, or a way to get your blood pumping if someone startles you. Folks with ADHD can experience what we call hyperfocus, these moments of dedicated focus where the world kind of fades away in favor of the project that you are working on.

If you are struggling with hyperfocus, or or any other symptoms of ADHD- reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Take good care,

Laney
