Anxiety often accompanies ADHD. When we struggle with ADHD we can become afraid of failure, and struggle with anxiety related to social situations, relationships, work, and school. Anxiety often shows up as "what if...." Our brains imagine fearful scenarious in the future which keep our nervous systems locked into fight or flight mode perpetuating our anxiety. Learning skills, tools, and self regulation techniques can help us in managing our anxieties. I offer CBT for anxiety along with somatic excerices to help with anxiety managment.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Everyone experiences anxiety. It can actually be quite helpful, motivating us to do things that are important to us, or letting us know of potential danger. Anxiety becomes problematic when we're afraid of things that aren't actually dangerous, or when our anxiety stops us from doing things that are important to us. The good news is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for anxiety disorders are among the most successful treatments we have in psychology. They work by teaching you how to accurately evaluate your anxiety triggers to tell if your anxiety reaction is justified or not. If your anxiety reaction doesn't match the threat, you learn skills to help you act more effectively, and manage your emotional reaction in the moment.

Sexuality & ADhD Solutions
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapist/Certified Coach - RSSW, AAC, CEBC, CAE
With ADHD often comes anxiety, fears and overwhelm. Often this is due to constantly questioning ourselves. Are good enough? Can we do this? Are we smart enough? That is often brought on by not being able to organize our thoughts and feelings to express what we really mean.
It can also come from years of being criticized, accused, and being unfairly judged because we are different.
Most people with ADHD have average to above average intelligence. We can accomplish as much or more than others, we just need different methods to accomplish things.
