​If you live with ADHD, you know how quickly a tough day can spiral into harsh self-talk and lost motivation, even when things look fine on the outside. But there are science-backed ways to change that inner narrative and support yourself when things get messy.

​Join Shift Collab ADHD therapy expert Sarah Innes for an interactive workshop on self-compassion as a practical tool for managing ADHD-related shame, overwhelm, and burnout. You’ll leave with simple strategies like reset phrases, supportive self-talk, and grounding techniques you can use right away.

​This session is especially for high-achievers who set high standards for themselves but quietly struggle with self-doubt or burnout when things do not go as planned. You are not alone, and you do not have to figure it out the hard way.

​During the one hour workshop, we’ll dive into:

• ​Why ADHDers are more prone to self-criticism and internalized shame

• ​How self-compassion supports executive function and emotion regulation

• ​The difference between real self-compassion and just “letting yourself off the hook”

• ​Tools you can use on the fly: reset phrases, grounding practices, and ways to reframe your inner dialogue

• ​A guided exercise to help turn your inner critic into a supportive inner coach

• ​How to build your own self-compassion toolkit for real-world stress moments

​It’s all happening on Wednesday, August 6th at 7 PM ET. And yes, it’s totally free! Whether you’re a current Shift client or just Shift-curious, this is a space for you.
