Do current cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches inadvertently promote masking and conformity for individuals with ADHD? Or do evidence-based CBT strategies support real-world functioning and quality of life for neurodivergent clients?
In this webinar, two leading psychotherapists will discuss the efficacy of CBT for ADHD and how modern approaches should move from treating ADHD behaviors and impairments to empowering individuals. You will learn:
- How CBT is evolving, and what challenges it can effectively address for people with ADHD and where it might miss the mark
- How traditional (non-adapted) CBT approaches may inadvertently encourage masking and conformity to neurotypical norms
- How CBT for ADHD can help you adapt your lifestyle to your environment and improve situations involving your job, relationships, and more
- How to assess whether CBT is working for you
- What people should know in choosing and working with a therapist
