In this webinar we will explore how ACT principles can help clients manage the challenges of ADHD while fostering psychological flexibility and self-compassion. You will learn how to apply mindfulness, values-based action, and cognitive defusion techniques to help clients navigate executive functioning difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and self-criticism. The training will also address common barriers to change, such as avoidance and impulsivity, and provide practical strategies for enhancing motivation and focus. By integrating ACT into their clinical work, you will gain tools to empower your clients with ADHD to move beyond struggle and toward a more fulfilling, values-driven life.
