Navigating Adult ADHD

One hour power session using body doubling. Ok to use for work or personal progress!

Bring that item you've been procrastinating on. Maybe something that needs a good pencil to paper brainstorming session. Or maybe you need to sit down and write an essay, or balance your checking account, or plan out a better laundry schedule, or put together lunches for the week. It doesn't matter. If you need to focus your attention, let's use the pack mentality to help give us an incredibly productive hour. Please plan to stay on screen the whole time, the point is to not wander mentally or physically.

We will start with a short introduction where you just give your first name and what your intention is for the hour. For example "I'm Meredith and I want to create 8 slides for my next presentation". Once our intentions are set, we work independently, together, creating a focused atmosphere to help smooth the way.

Intention setting will happen right away (which is a powerful part of this whole thing), so feel free to sign in a few minutes early. I will do my best to let you back in if you do get disconnected mid-session for any reason.

Doors close as soon as intentions have been set by the group, sometimes as early as 3 minutes into the meeting. If that happens, you're welcome to wait in the Zoom waiting room and join us at half past, when we take our 2-minute break. This is not at all a punishment for being late, just a protection for everyone's attention during the hour! No one will be let in after break.

There has been a very important shift in the understanding of ADHD recently and experts are finally acknowledging how big of a role emotional regulation plays for those of us with ADHD. There is a specific type of ER that has also gotten a lot of press lately, and that is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. A large portion of people who have ADHD also experience Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.

This talk will explain what RSD is, what some of the fall out is for those of us who have it and what you can do to work on improving the symptoms.
RSD is not a formal diagnosis, but it does describe a suite of shared experiences, and it is brain based and worth normalizing and destigmatizing.

This meeting will start with a presentation on the topic and then we will open the floor to discussion with the group where we can talk about our experiences. My hope is that everyone will walk away with a better understanding of their own emotional dysregulation around rejection and a sense of belonging and understanding from the community.
