Do you experience challenges with focus and struggle with time and task management? Do you struggle with emotional hypersensitivity or frustration tolerance? Do you find it hard to follow through on tasks or commitments, or to be reliable and consistent?

If so, you are not alone. Many people experience significant daily challenges with conditions related to executive functioning. These difficulties are often associated with ADHD, and may be exacerbated by our complex, fast-paced, high-tech lives. Such conditions often leave people with a sense of self-doubt, shame, or unworthiness. The good news is that research on mindfulness and compassion-based practices suggests that, with appropriate skills and supports, it is possible to understand and function more effectively with care and wisdom.

In this daylong, we’ll explore how these challenges interrupt daily functioning, and how mindfulness, forgiveness, and self-compassion practices can be used to meet ADHD-related difficulties with greater clarity and kindness.
