Adults with ADHD frequently encounter challenges with executive functioning that impede self-regulation and increase the propensity for anger. This presentation examines how these deficits disrupt not only emotional regulation but also the execution of daily tasks—stemming from inattention, difficulties in initiating tasks, dysregulation when tasks lack sufficient stimulation, and time blindness. Consequently, uncompleted tasks lead to recurring episodes of frustration that are internalized, heightening vulnerability to future triggers, and often resulting in self-directed anger for having ADHD.
Drawing on evidence-based interventions, this workshop integrates multiple theoretical frameworks—including parts work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), metacognitive approaches, somatic work, and the constraint-led approach—to provide clinicians with a comprehensive toolkit. Attendees will learn strategies to help their clients:
Overall, this presentation equips clinicians with the practical tools needed to support clients in overcoming these challenges, enabling them to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.
