Webinar Replay: The Epiphany Moment- Embracing the ADHD Diagnosis from Self-Doubt to Self-Awareness in Adulthood with Monica Hassall & Dr. Philip Bird

The goal of this webinar is to facilitate a new perspective /paradigm for the client that includes a comprehensive understanding of ADHD, acceptance of their unique strengths and balance this with the challenges, and access to the necessary support and encouragement. This holistic approach can help individuals make realistic, long-term progress and manage their condition more effectively.

From the undiagnosed experience, with self-doubt, shame guilt, frustration, transitioning to a more factual self-concept, bringing awareness, acknowledgment, empowerment and “peace”.

Learning Objectives:

• Why now?- understanding why ADHD has appeared “now”-and what we can do about it while managing the emotional complexity-relief, grief to self acceptance
• How to manage expectations for lasting change- how executive functioning plays an key role in moving forwards
• Identifying and letting go of old and not so old “baggage” -putting the epiphany into context- redefining personal growth and embracing the strengths and challenges unique to ADHD
