​Welcome and thank you for visiting! 

I'm Katy, a therapist and author blogging as ADHD Pilgrim.

Why a Pilgrimage?

A pilgrimage is a journey with a purpose. Following a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood, finding my self-compassionate voice and mindful presence while 'Iiving along the way' has become more important than the destinations I imagined. 

 

Why Self-Compassion?​​​​

'Self-compassion is a complementary approach that may let every other part of ADHD care move forward'.

~Psychology Today​

 

Perhaps you will discover something useful in my books or among my posts.  

Through a lens of self-compassion, they tread the paths of everyday 'outer world' journeys that can impact our inner world experiences with ADHD

​​

"The only way to do is to be" 

~Lao Tzu​

 

When our ordinary journeys begin to include self-compassion, we can come home to our humanness and allow ourselves to 'be.'  ​Becoming comfortable with oneself as a person with ADHD can feel like a life quest,

but maybe, by offering ourselves more kindness, it won't take a lifetime.
