Impulsiveness
So I know impulsiveness is common with ADHD, but I'm wondering what can help with it. I'm taking Adderall, and stimulants are supposed to best for impulsiveness. I'm also looking for a therapist for help. I'm impulsive in small ways. (I don't get impulses to do big stupid things like spending rent money on something else.) What I do is act or speak without thinking first. I have worked on it, and think I've improved, but not enough. How do I intervene when the words or action happen very quickly? How do I train myself to always pause? I'm also wondering if any of you have an idea what a therapist can do with this. I really hate CBT.

@Badger73It’s important to be kind to yourself throughout this process, understanding that change takes time and occasional slips are normal. If you'd like, I can help you develop specific exercises or practice scripts that encourage pausing before acting. Would that be helpful?
