In this guest post on Totally ADD, Laura talks about how ADHD treatment often requires a journey into your past, in order to move forward in an authentic way.

We are so lucky to have organizations like CADDAC working to share real stories about ADHD. By understanding what ADHD actually is and isn’t, we can avoid secondary and more damaging feelings of low self-worth.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first online course for adults with ADHD!

This course is open to anyone, and can be done from anywhere.

Beware of making sweeping statements that take you away from facing ADHD head on. You could end up fighting the wrong fight.

I was flying home from CADDAC a few weeks ago, and I decided to put on a movie, (I had done enough work this weekend!), and I stumbled on the movie Cleo and was drawn to these introductory words:

“You can never jump in the same river twice. It’s not the same river and you are not the same person.”

Jessica McCabe of How to ADHD shared this strategy a couple of weeks ago at CADDAC. She talked about how people with ADHD and other mental health diagnoses, can get in situations where they say sorry a lot. Saying sorry over and over again can leave you and those around you feeling unsatisfied and discouraged.
