ADD / ADHD

ADD/ADHD: Adults and parents of children with ADD /ADHD often wonder if counselling would help. Our culture has a view of that it’s meant to help people deal with adversity, but often the ones who are diagnosed come from perfectly happy homes. They’ve never been abused; they’ve never experienced anything truly traumatic.

Aside from the fact that these people know that the people in their lives love them just the way they are; it’s also clear to them that peers aren’t feeling that love. Every time an annoyed teacher rolls her eyes and sighs after a child, it hurts. Counseling can help someone with ADD/ADHD rebuild their positive self image.

Without counseling, people can sometimes grow immune to discipline and begin to develop an overall hatred of authority. Imagine, being reprimanded at every turn. Being viewed as a troublemaker, or being told that you’re disrespectful or a burden every single day can really affect anyone negatively. If your ADD loved one is or has developed problems with authority, coping with life itself, and lashing out at you, or others in their lives’ consider seeking an experienced ADD/ADHD counsellor.
