Treatment Implications

Part 1:  10:00 AM EST - 1:00 PM EST

Part 2:  1:45 PM EST - 4:45 PM EST

 

ADHD is a neurological condition, but it has significant psychological effects on how a person sees themselves, addresses challenges, and interacts with others. While standard therapy techniques can be beneficial, therapists who better understand the many effects of ADHD on a person’s life and mindset will be much more effective, whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. We will discuss four inter-related areas:

  • Promoting Acceptance: helping individuals with ADHD and/or family members better understand ADHD and set appropriate expectations, while also pushing themselves to bring their best to challenges.
  • The Psychology of Medication: stimulants are the most effective medications in all of psychiatry, but there are still many who resist trying them. This section will discuss how people think about ADHD and what it takes to manage it, as well as what it means to take medication. The goal is to help clients make a well informed and well thought out decision about this aspect of treatment.
  • Building a Stronger Mindset: Those with ADHD tend to have certain kinds of experiences that lead to certain mindset traps (e.g., avoidance/protective pessimism, self-mistrust, acceptance of chaos, and conflict avoidance). Although these mindset traps make some sense, there are more effective ways of approaching challenges, so I will discuss how to shift clients to a more resilient mindset.
  • Promoting More Satisfying Relationships: ADHD in one partner can exacerbate certain dynamics within a romantic relationship. When poorly managed, both partners feel frustrated and powerless. Therapists can help the couple find a better balance as they help the partners think through what to change about their partner and what to accept.
