adult adhd therapy
you got a diagnosis (finally!) so why is this still hard?
TURNS OUT THAT GETTiNG A DIAGNOSIS is JUST THE BEGINNING.
BLAME
Life hits hard when you have ADHD, and it especially leaves scars when you weren’t diagnosed early. You didn’t get the compassion and treatment you deserved when you needed it most. Without a diagnosis, you grew up thinking your symptoms were your fault.
SHAME
You still carry labels and shame from a childhood full of negative experiences in which you felt like you “didn’t get the memo.” A lifetime of correction, punishment, and embarrassment has taken its toll. You’ve gotten really good at hiding. You wish it was enough to just be yourself.
DRAIN
Now that you’re an adult, you might be a little better at staying on top of life (or maybe not), but you’re working so hard to stay afloat. You may be taking a closer look at your relationships and find that things aren’t feeling quite right.
The cracks are starting to show.
Maybe you want to take off the mask and breathe a little.
you’ve found the right place.
