Description of the talk:  ADHD is a neurological condition, but neurology often drives psychology. This is especially true for many adults with ADHD who spent most of their lives undiagnosed and therefore untreated. As a result of this lifetime of additional struggles, they tend to develop certain mindsets and ways of relating to others which may undermine their progress in getting their lives in order. We will identify these common mindsets and provide psychologically-based strategies to create a stronger, more effective mindset. You will not only feel better about yourself but also get more done.
This presentation will be grounded in cognitive therapy principles and techniques. Attendees will walk out with effective strategies they can use themselves or with loved ones, students, co-workers, clients, etc.
