Emotional dysregulation is often the invisible driver behind many of the challenges adults with ADHD face—yet it frequently remains widely misunderstood or dismissed. In this session, Dr. Tamara Rosier explores the powerful role emotions play in ADHD motivation, behavior, and self-concept. Drawing from clinical experience and current neuroscience, she unpacks how shame, rejection sensitivity, and negative self-talk shape identity and coping strategies. You’ll walk away with practical tools to better understand your emotions, work with your brain (not against it), and start creating change in a way that actually feels possible.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how emotional dysregulation, shame, and rejection sensitivity impact motivation, self-perception, and behavior in adults with ADHD
- Identify common emotional patterns that contribute to internalized negative beliefs and coping challenges
- Apply strategies to recognize emotional triggers, reframe self-talk, and build motivation that aligns with the ADHD brain
