Description
Living with chronic and persistent executive challenges may be associated with stress and object loss, shame, depression, anxious perfectionism, and rejection sensitivity.
In our enthusiastic rush to emphasize the potential benefit of stimulant medication and strategies and brain hacks, we may miss an important therapeutic opportunity – supporting clients around themes of loss and shame.
In this session, we’ll investigate the frustrating gap between ability and performance which is “baked into” the ADHD experience and assess the functional impact of co-occurring perfectionistic and impulsive tendencies. We will learn to identify clinical “red flags” in the clinical interview which invite further exploration of shame on our ADHD clients’ self-understanding. Practical strategies for working with shame and perfectionism will be reviewed and hands-on application of these strategies will be explored by way of a case study.
