ADHD Informed Therapy
Embracing Neurodiversity
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is often viewed through a narrow lens, primarily focusing on challenges like distractibility and impulsivity. However, its impact is broad, influencing everything from executive functions to emotional well-being. Here at Tami Hendel Counselling, I recognize ADHD as falling under the spectrum of neurodiversity that can include unique strengths alongside its challenges.
Understanding ADHD Symptoms
Individuals with ADHD possess unique abilities that are often overlooked due to their challenging symptoms, including dynamic problem-solving skills, resilient traits, and vibrant creativity, which can be nurtured in a supportive therapeutic environment.
Our ADHD Therapy Approach
Our therapy sessions are tailored to transform your relationship with ADHD by focusing on:
Emotional Regulation - Strategies to manage ADHD and anxiety, mitigate depression, and handle emotional fluctuations with ease.
Enhanced Focus and Attention - Improving coping mechanisms, concentration and task completion.
Effective Time Management - Addressing typical adult ADHD symptoms related to executive functions and the passage of time.
Building Confidence - Overcoming the stigma and self-doubt often associated with ADHD by reframing your neurodiversity as a strength.
Increasing Self-Esteem - Overcoming years of frustration, pain and low self-esteem. Feeling worthy, capable and needed.
My practice is AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) informed. This includes mindfulness practices and deep belly breathing to help you connect with your core emotions and achieve emotional regulation.
ADHD in Adults: Understanding and Managing Symptoms
ADHD symptoms in adults look different from ADHD in children, requiring a nuanced understanding of how ADHD manifests in adults. Adult symptoms may look more like:
Time Blindness - distracted in meetings, missed appointments, always being late
Relationship Issues - accountability, boundaries, reliability, and social skills.
Challenges With Executive Functioning - starting new tasks, re-engaging with the task, prioritizing
ADHD symptoms can manifest differently, presenting unique challenges and strengths for each individual. Recognizing these variations is crucial in providing support and therapy.
