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.

Anxiety or Fears
Bree Bonanno
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Anxiety is one of the most prevalent and challenging forms of human suffering. It can also vary in intensity from mild tension and apprehension to feelings of fear and terror. At times, feelings of pain and shame about anxiety may be so great that we may wish to die to escape. We also know that anxiety takes many different forms. For example, some people can have intense and sudden physical symptoms, known as panic attacks. Some people with social anxiety can become particularly concerned about social situations, fearing that people might see them as inadequate or inferior and, as a consequence, reject or avoid them. Anxiety is an important and essential emotion; however, when anxiety causes significant distress or when anxious behaviour impairs a person’s ability to function—when anxiety negatively affects a person’s life—we call this an anxiety disorder. As if feeling anxious and stressed were not enough, we can also become fearful of these emotions and try to suppress or avoid them, even becoming self-critical for feeling overly anxious. Together, we will work inwards to the root of anxiety and collaboratively manage the anxiety's intensity levels.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
It takes courage to address fear and anxiety. Congratulations on taking an important step to seek new perspectives. I work to develop ways to reduce symptoms as well as finding ways to release what keeps it going. CBT and breathwork are two tools; there are others.

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Anxiety and fear has become such a large part of people's experience, with more stressors within our society than ever before. I believe that each person has a unique experience of anxiety and that many current stressors can trigger past experiences, making anxiety feel that much more uncontrollable. I hope to help you understand where your anxiety is coming from and why it is showing up for you in the way that it is. With this understanding we can then learn to manage core fears and learn to reduce anxiety and worry together.
