Jump to Course Contents
Description
Many people who suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) also suffer with ADHD and have gone their whole lives believing the shame/blame that was inflicted on them. The brain of someone who suffers from ADHD is always daring distraction – constantly seeking new ideas, thoughts, and experiences and coming up with new solutions to problems or creative innovations to something ordinary. People who suffer from both a substance use disorder and ADHD are taught to believe in their own badness. Treated by family, school, and friends as if they are broken, the person who struggles with ADHD and SUD gets the message: there is something wrong with me. Learn the unique strengths and skills of those with ADHD and how to help someone with a co-occurring substance use disorder and ADHD replace shame with effective skills and strategies.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will examine the difference between the ADHD brain and the non-ADHD brain.
- Participants will learn what “always daring distractions” is like for those with ADHD.
- Participants will acquire skills that remove the shame and increase self-acceptance.
- Participants will recognize the scripts of shame, blame, and self-doubt.
