Many adults with ADHD struggle with time management, disorganization, lack of motivation, and difficulties regulating their emotions. This often causes low self-esteem, high stress, constant feelings of defeat, and other negative thought processes. Adults with ADHD might think their struggles are their fault and might have trouble believing that things will ever go well or that they will ever succeed.

Evolve counseling attempts to address ADHD with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – which can help overcome these negative thought patterns. Rather than teaching new strategies for organization or task completion, CBT can help you reframe your thoughts. The goal is to change negative behaviors by changing the though process that can fuel them.

Other ways CBT can help adults with ADHD include help with:
– Managing negative emotions
– Resetting negative expectations
– Figuring out any behavioral patterns
– Coping with stress
– Navigation transitions throughout the day
– Dealing with stressful obligation
– Making time for self-care and self-fulfillment
– Changing self-defeating behaviors

Evolve counseling uses multiple approaches of therapy to address Complex – PTSD treatment that often involves a combination of CBT – which can help individuals recognize and change maladaptive thought patterns, while Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can team emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. In conjunction with Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) may also be used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact
