The most fundamental idea at the heart of modern psychotherapy is that in order to heal ourselves from our neuroses in the present, we have to understand what went on in our childhoods.
Though this thesis makes impeccable theoretical sense, there is one enormous problem with it: amnesia. Simply put, almost no adult remembers a single thing that happened to them before they were three years old: countless days and nights, a succession of complicated moods, sensations and events will have vanished into thin air, like a library of precious books that is sent up in smoke or dumped unceremoniously into the sea. Furthermore, most of us remember very little of what went on before we were seven. This may seem like an obvious point, but it has momentous implications. A period that we’ve identified as extremely central is also going to be entirely nebulous…
Picking up on the drama of the previous episode, we continue the series on how ADHD affects our social skills. As many of you know, social skills are more challenging for us than others who don’t have #ADHD. And even within the ADHD population, there are some who are more impacted by this symptom than others.
WHY THIS TOPIC? I chose “Over/Under reacting” as the number-three of the most worrisome Social Skills because it is a theme that has popped up in my life enough that caused me to think there was something wrong with my personality. I’ve lost friends over this particular quirk and it’s led me down paths where I prioritized things that didn’t need immediate attention and catastrophized events that didn’t warrant the drama I gave to it.

http://adhdinadults.com/ Learn how healthcare professionals can better educate their patients about Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and how to facilitate the conversations surrounding ADHD from Anthony Rostain MD/MA, the Medical Director for the Penn Medicine Adult ADHD Program. Rostain offers doctors and/or PCPs guidance on how to educate patients about adult ADHD and set them up for successful treatment.
When discussing ADHD for the first time with a patient, the doctor should help the patient identify some of their strengths as well as their weaknesses as they relate to ADHD. Highlighting positive characteristics helps give patient hope and reminds the patient there is support available for managing their disorder. Encouraging patients to learn about changes in their home environment and providing other strategies for patients to cope with ADHD is also encouraged.
Doctors should discuss expectations regarding treatment options early. In order to effectively do so, physicians should be aware of the prescription options available for treating patients (stimulants and non-stimulants). Healthcare professionals should also know about local cognitive therapy resources that are available to help patients manage their ADHD.
One kind of barrier that patients may have is overcoming behavioral problems, such as procrastination. Another barrier is a lack of confidence, due to the interference ADHD has had over the course of the patient's life. These barriers can result in compensatory strategies that can interfere with coping strategies. Cognitive therapy can help patients reduce symptoms and improve functioning without medication and knowing its advantages is important to counseling patients.

This episode is about Why People Don’t Like You. Three Steps to Develop ADHD social skills
When I was little, I wondered why no one wanted to play with my. Did it have to do with the fact that I was constantly teased by my peers about my poor vision, thick prism glasses, and extreme shyness? Erm, yeah. All that teasing made me feel naive and deprived of self-esteem. I was also anxious about speaking to strangers. Yes, ma’am, and yes sir. Was that a way to compound the social problems I was already likely experiencing as a result of undiagnosed ADHD. Well, Honey, hush! These ingredients created a toxic stew that combined defensiveness, overcompensating and masking with a double dose naivete, making it difficult for others (whoever that might be) to get to know me. It was very difficult for those who knew me to keep a relationship or friendship with me. This video will help you overcome social awkwardness. These tips will only work if you practice them. Get out of your head and have a conversation with someone. God bless you.
