The Book, Radical Acceptance for women with ADHD is such a powerful tool. The Author, Sari Solden, M.S, is a psychotherapist who has counselled adults with ADHD for over 30 years. She is the author of the books, Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, Journeys Through ADDulthood, and co-author of A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD. Her areas of specialization include women’s issues, inattentive ADHD, and the emotional consequences and healing process for adults who grew up with undiagnosed ADHD. Sam spoke to Sari as part of the Women’s ADHD Empowerment Festival. Sari says that living with ADHD is a chronic struggle. “Take the medication to treat the symptoms but also move towards acceptance of your whole self and do not discount the pain and suffering as they form the whole of you and knowing your brain”. We discussed that people with ADHD tends to have a distorted sense of self of how we view ourselves and what this means is when we work towards embracing our new identity following a diagnosis, you can’t do this alone. You need to work with someone who values you, champions you, and can help you move towards your own meaningful goals.
