Description

Many children and adults with ADHD struggle with fears of embarrassment, rejection or criticism and hold back from participating in the relationships they truly desire.

In this session, Dr. Sharon Saline, award-winning author, international speaker and consultant will teach you how to help your clients participate in social situations with more confidence and less self-criticism. After describing how social anxiety works and its relationship to perfectionism and rejection sensitivity dysphoria, Dr. Saline will demonstrate interventions and tools to:

  • Improve communication skills and connection while reducing discomfort and insecurity
  • Initiate and maintain friendships, manage rejection sensitivity dysphoria
  • Promote resilience and growth mindsets in clients of all ages with ADHD
