Adult ADHD Therapy in Jupiter & Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Unpacking Your Story:
Adult ADHD & A New Understanding of Self
Discovering ADHD as an adult can bring a powerful mix of relief, grief, and profound shifts in identity. You're not alone in navigating this new understanding. We're here to support you in reframing your past and embracing your future.
For years, you may have attributed certain challenges to personal failings, character flaws, or simply 'being disorganized.' Perhaps you've felt a persistent sense of being different, struggling with focus, emotional regulation, or consistent follow-through, even as you achieved success in other areas of your life. This journey often involves a lifetime of internalizing unhelpful narratives, working harder than others to achieve the same results, or masking your true experiences.
A late diagnosis of ADHD can be a profound turning point. It's not just a label; it's a new lens through which to understand your entire life story. This discovery can bring immense relief, validating long-held feelings and explaining past struggles. Yet, it can also bring a wave of grief for what might have been, or even anger at the missed opportunities. At Nurture Health Therapy Group, we understand this complex emotional landscape and offer a safe, supportive space to process these feelings and reframe your understanding of yourself.
Finally understanding your brain's unique wiring is a powerful step towards self-acceptance.
