Anxiety Breakdown: 4 types of Anxiety that Run with ADHD
Description
Do you want the TEA (inside scoop) on why AnxieTEA and ADHD seem to travel together? Well, if you have never tried OTea (occupational therapy) tools steeped with mental health knowledge, you are missing out on the winning combo to make the perfect cup of tea that addresses your client’s anxiety. Join the OT and mental health therapist duo as they share how they combine sensory and mental health tools that reduce anxiety in ADHD clients. In this interactive presentation, we will break down the four types of anxiety that ADHD adults experience and why ADHD, sensory processing differences, trauma and RSD collide into a 20-car anxiety pile up. You will learn about the three hidden sensory systems and how it impacts anxiety in ADHD. You will build your treatment toolbox with targeted strengths based affirming tools that fit your clients needs based on the type of anxiety they experience. Wear comfortable shoes, because you will learn by actively exploring sensory systems, sensory tools, and implementing ADHD-affirming anxiety interventions to address the deeper, underlying needs of your clients. Bonus, you can use these tools throughout the conference when anxiety crashes in after those inevitable awkward moments.
