with Jeff Copper, PCAC, PCC, MBA & Terry Matlen, LMSW

$13.00

Ever had one of those situations where you’re just not sure why the ADHD’er in your life is reacting so strongly or taking things so personally? On the surface, it seems like they just need to lighten up. But the truth is, they may be struggling with something related to the way ADHD shows up for them. Whether it’s sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity or taking things personally, what looks like someone losing their cool or being unreasonable is often a kind of ADHD-hyper-sensitivity that some (but not all) people with ADHD experience frequently. In this session, we talk about how to understand hyper-sensitivity so we can help ADHD’ers learn to manage it.
