Adult ADHD
What Might be Happening
ADHD is real. Let's get that out of the way first. It is a real, lived experience that is only fully understood by those who live with it. Whether you have an official diagnosis or not, living with the symptoms of ADHD can be difficult. There are a wide range of symptoms of ADHD that you may experience, and some you may not. Some of the symptoms of ADHD are a blessing, helping you zoom into your passions, focus on the task at hand, and thrive under tight deadlines. Some of the symptoms are more of a curse, causing you to forget important things, struggle to stay organized, and feel like you're constantly missing something. Unfortunately, the world is not made for people with ADHD brains, and so you may have felt like you don't fit in, or can't get it right. You may feel like you're expected to fit into a box that isn't quite the right shape for you, but you squeeze and shove yourself in anyway, which can be painful.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy can be so helpful for understanding how your ADHD brain works, and how you can use it to your advantage. Therapy can help you shift your perspective on the ADHD, turning it into a tool that can help you in your life. Therapy can also help you rework and let go of some of the painful narratives you've developed about yourself. You'll start to deconstruct the low self-worth and self-confidence that most people with ADHD feel, recognizing the systemic messaging that has trampled all of over your ability to see yourself clearly. Therapy can help you better understand your specific constellation of symptoms. It can help you start to see your true shape, so that you can create your own box that you actually fit into, and reject the box that our world says you should be able to fit in. Therapy can help you bring awareness to when certain symptoms are more likely to show up, so that you can have strategies already in place to help you navigate those moments.
