A New Way of Looking At ADHD
We explore ADHD through the lens of an “Interest Deficit Disorder”, paradigm. This perspective suggests that the struggles individuals with attention face may not be solely due to a lack of focus, but rather, a diminished connection to interest and engagement. Here, we examine how passion and curiosity can serve as powerful tools to enhance concentration and productivity. This approach can empower individuals, parents, and educators to cultivate environments where motivation thrives by fostering interest in, or in interesting subject matter. Join us as we unpack this transformative approach, offering insight, strategies, and real-life examples of how embracing personal session passions can lead to greater fulfillment and success for those navigating ADHD.

ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
For many individuals living with ADHD, the most debilitating symptom isn't a lack of focus, but the intense, gut-wrenching emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism or rejection. This phenomenon, known as Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), creates an extreme emotional sensitivity that can feel physically overwhelming and impossible to regulate. Unlike standard mood disorders, RSD episodes are typically brief, intense, and directly tied to social interactions, often leading to a cycle of people-pleasing or social withdrawal to avoid the "sting" of failure.
