i did “therapy” and paid out of pocket for a year. i learned literally nothing.

i wish you the best but “therapy” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. the “therapists” i’ve engaged with were genuinely terrible people.

Not all therapists are well-versed in ADHD or trained in the specific therapeutic approaches that are most effective for individuals with ADHD. Your experience is a common concern, and it’s actually what inspired me to write about this issue. I frequently encounter families who struggle to receive the support they need because they’re working with a therapist who may not specialize in ADHD or utilize the appropriate therapeutic techniques. I sincerely hope you’re able to find the right support that best meets your needs.
