Navigating ADHD: What Therapy Can Offer

 

 

 

Improves Inattention

 

Therapy teaches practical strategies for enhancing focus, organization, time management, and task completion. This includes learning to break down tasks, utilizing visual aids, minimizing distractions, and developing practical planning skills.

 

 

 

Reduces Impulsivity

​

Through techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), individuals learn to identify impulsive urges, develop coping mechanisms, practice problem-solving before acting, and understand the consequences of impulsive behaviors.

 

 

               Manages Hyperactivity

​

While therapy doesn't directly eliminate the physical sensation of hyperactivity, it helps individuals develop strategies for channeling energy constructively. This can involve identifying appropriate outlets for physical activity, learning self-regulation techniques, and understanding how to manage restlessness in different settings.

 

 

Enhances Overall ADHD

Management and Coping

 

Therapy provides a supportive environment to understand ADHD, develop self-awareness, build self-esteem, and learn coping mechanisms, as well as address co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety and depression and improve interpersonal relationships impacted by ADHD symptoms.
