Arriving Late, Belonging Fully
Being diagnosed (or self-diagnosed) with ADHD later in life can bring a wave of emotions—relief, grief, clarity, and confusion. This group is a space to unpack it all, with others who truly understand (including the facilitators). Whether you're just beginning to make sense of your brain or trying to reframe years of self-doubt, you don’t have to do it alone.
Together, we’ll explore what ADHD really looks like—beyond stereotypes and checklists. We’ll talk about executive functioning struggles, emotional regulation, shame, relationships, and how to build self-compassion after years of feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
This group is designed for adults who:
-
Were diagnosed or self-diagnosed later in life
