Dr. Manijeh Motaghy on How It’s Not Easy to Be Human– Especially with ADHD
Instructor’s Message
In this course, we reassure you that, as an ADHD adult, you are brilliant, which you know, but also you are responsible, able to be present, attentive, and follow through when utilizing your natural strengths.
When developed, these natural strengths become your superpower.
You’ll learn the reasons why you ignore tasks, don’t put things back where they belong, act impulsively, lose interest, become bored, anxious, hyper-sensitive to blame, have no sense of time, forget important things, and go from one thing to another, and can’t stick with things to the finish line.
It is NOT because you are lazy, crazy, or don’t care, nor because you have a disorder.
In this course, you learn to train and transform your brain to function as well as, or even better than, a neurotypical.
With customized training, you can Mindfully Optimize your life by transforming stress, anxiety, and inattention to key inner abilities that support you in all aspect of your life.
Manijeh’s teachings have helped increase accountability with myself, improve in habits/actions regarding our planet and increasingly become a better clinician. Her Life Optimization Method and approach exceed the training and education we’ve received to become therapists. It incorporates more depth into treatment regardless of diagnosis. It helps achieve a healthy happy lifestyle rather than just coping strategies/tools

As a teacher and union representative, I always advocated for my colleagues and students, and yet, unable to advocate for myself. I hadn’t developed much confidence for myself. After completing Dr. Manijeh Motaghy’s course on the challenges and benefits of ADHD, I began to understand that neurodivergent brains function uniquely. Trying to make my brain operate in ways that are foreign to it, in order to meet the expectations of with neurotypical people, is like trying to put a square peg into a round hole. Understanding and appreciating my neurodivergent brain’s way of operating has opened the doors of self-love and confidence to me. Dr. Motaghy responded to students with genuine empathy, understanding, and scientific-based knowledge, and practical tools. For every complication, struggle, place of grief that a student presented to her, Dr. Motaghy provided concrete ways to address these challenges for a positive outcome.
I have become more patient with myself and more understanding of how I learn and grow. I am very much looking forward to continue expanding my knowledge, skills and self-acceptance with Dr. Motaghy’s classes. If you have been experiencing any issues related to ADHD, I highly recommend Dr. Manijeh Motaghy and her excellent coursework. ~ Marlene Carlan
