Ever been in therapy and wondered, “Is this actually helping?”
This episode breaks down what ADHD-informed/ Neuro-affirming therapy is supposed to look like—and why so many ADHDers feel stuck or blamed instead.
If therapy hasn’t helped your ADHD the way you hoped, it might not be you—it might be a mismatch. In this episode, therapist Justin Lamb explains what ADHD-informed and neuro-affirming therapy actually looks like, how to tell if it’s working, and when it’s okay to question or change therapists. You’ll walk away with clearer expectations, red and green flags to watch for, and language to advocate for what your brain actually needs.
