Episode Description

Shame and ADHD are persistent, if uncomfortable, partners. Adults with undiagnosed ADHD may spend their lives believing that they are fundamentally flawed. They often develop a protective shell that deflects the slings and arrows of judgment, but inside that shell, they are deeply ashamed of their missteps. Shame is insidious — it impairs self-esteem and life choices about relationships, employment, and your outlook on life.

The good news is that shame doesn’t have to be a permanent fixture in the lives of adults with ADHD, especially after diagnosis. When you are able to recognize the dramatic impact of ADHD on your life, you can sort out the differences between blame and responsibility, and begin seeing yourself more accurately and forgivingly. Learning to leave shame behind is a rebirth for many ADHD adults, one that is long overdue and well deserved for most of us.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • The many sources of shame—past and present—for adults with ADHD
  • How shame becomes a pervasive and devastating influence on our lives
  • How to recognize the difference between blaming yourself versus taking responsibility
  • How to shift the “blame game” dynamic without losing important relationships
  • How to take the first steps toward forgiving yourself (and others) for being exactly who you are
