Achieve the Connectedness and Friendship You Crave – 2017

Women with ADHD often struggle with lasting friendships and learning how to create the positive social impressions while also being themselves. Our ADHD symptoms affect our social skills and women are held to a high standard for expected social behaviors. Often ADHD women crave authenticity, intimacy, and understanding, but are aware of how our ADHD affects our friendships, social approach and keeps us from the very connectedness we crave.

Sometimes we need to tweak our social approach by learning key skills like self-regulation, reciprocal conversations, and emotional control that impact our friendships.   But even as we work on the areas where our ADHD symptoms affect friendships, it is important to manage self-criticism.

Finding a circle of supporters and learning to manage your inner critic and drown out the noise of society is often a hard lesson to learn.  But for ADHD women, finding a circle of support and learning to silence our inner critic is the best way to find self-confidence and self-acceptance. This session explores how.
