Why can we thrive in one country and struggle in another?
This free guide explores how novelty, culture, unfamiliar systems, friendships, and everyday life can affect ADHD, and what those experiences can teach you about the conditions your brain needs.
“Your ADHD may not have changed. Your environment may simply have stopped doing some of the work for you.”
Why everyday tasks can suddenly feel much harder abroad, and why novelty can initially make an ADHD brain thrive.
How unfamiliar systems, bureaucracy, language, friendships, homesickness, and returning home can affect the way your ADHD shows up.
And most importantly: how to identify the conditions that help your brain function well.
I spent about 25 years living abroad in Japan, Denmark, and the United States before returning to Germany. Along the way, I experienced how differently we can function depending on the culture, environment, routines, and expectations around us.
As an ADHD therapist and coach, I now find this question fascinating: What if living abroad doesn’t just teach us about another country but also teaches us something about our own brain?
This guide brings those two perspectives together: my personal experience of international life and my professional work with ADHD.
