Surviving the Morning Wars:
ADHD Edition

A Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming program for families with a child with ADHD. It is delivered as guided audio, drawing on Clinical Hypnosis, Strategic Psychotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, with movement exercises your child can follow at home. It is designed to help families recognise and interrupt stressful morning patterns, and to work alongside your child’s existing care. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent ADHD. Individual experiences vary.

Before You Start: Support for Your Child and for You

This program is not a treatment for ADHD, and it is designed to work alongside your child’s existing care. Please do not change or stop any medication or treatment because of anything on this page. That decision belongs with your child’s prescribing doctor.

If mornings are very hard, or your child’s behaviour, mood or sleep is significant, persistent or getting worse, talk to your GP or paediatrician. Where the audio is used, we suggest a parent or carer is nearby when a child listens, and that you choose what they listen to. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

Parenting a child with ADHD can be exhausting. If you are struggling, speak with your GP too.

If you are in immediate danger or at risk of harming yourself, contact emergency services immediately. Australia: Lifeline 13 11 14 | Emergency 000. USA: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline | Emergency 911. UK: Samaritans 116 123 | Emergency 999.

How Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming Works

Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is the structured process within the Mindshift Method, created by Rob Edmonds and delivered through Mindshift Mentors. It works with the patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting that keep repeating. Three disciplines inform it: Strategic Psychotherapy provides the therapeutic strategy, Clinical Hypnosis creates the highly focused state of attention, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques run through the sessions to help interrupt established patterns and support new responses. You are not asked to relive anything or talk through your history. While listening, you remain aware and in control, able to hear what is being said and respond if you choose. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

Rob Edmonds
Author and Creator of the Mindshift Method™ and Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming™

You listen privately to a recorded session created by Rob Edmonds, so there is no live session and no therapist in the room. Each session is built around a specific recurring pattern. People respond differently, and the time it takes to notice a change varies from person to person.
