Receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life can be a profound and disorienting experience for women, often reshaping their sense of identity. This session explores the unique emotional and psychological challenges that arise post-diagnosis, including doubt, grief, self-blame, burnout from decades of masking and trying to "just push through," and the cultural pressure to “fix” oneself. Your clients might wonder: "How do I actually move forward after all these years?" or "Can't you help me fix this already?!" Through a combined coaching and therapeutic lens, we’ll examine how women with ADHD can integrate their late diagnosis in a more empowering way—balancing self-knowledge with the desire for growth. The coaching perspective will highlight challenges with fusing oneself to rigid labels or narratives instead of getting to a balanced self-perspective and how to pivot from perfectionism to mental flexibility so you can better tackle day to day life with ADHD. The therapeutic approach will discuss a four-part approach to supporting clients in finding wholeness and integration after a later-in-life diagnosis of ADHD. Dr. Frank will touch on relationship to ADHD, Self, emotions, and others as key aspects of a well-rounded clinical approach to ADHD support - with concrete take-aways for professionals. Attendees will leave with realistic, effective and practical tools to help clients navigate their ADHD journey with greater clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance.
