Remaining 2025 Trainings:
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): Clinical Insights & Support Strategies - August 1st
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is an intense emotional response to perceived rejection or criticism, commonly experienced by individuals with ADHD. While not an official diagnosis, it’s a term often used by clients and clinicians to describe a very real experience. In this 1-hour training, we’ll explore what RSD is, how it presents, and how to differentiate it from anxiety and mood disorders. We’ll also examine its impact on functioning and relationships, and outline a neurodiversity-affirming clinical approach for supporting clients who navigate this form of emotional sensitivity.

Understand the overlap between PMDD, ADHD, and Autism. Learn how to identify PMDD in your menstruating ADHD and autistic clients, differentiate it from other diagnoses, and apply therapeutic interventions to support clients through cycle-related mood shifts.
The Inner Equilibrium Audit – October 3rd
Learn how to use the innovative Inner Equilibrium Audit tool to help clients build awareness of how they engage with daily tasks across home, work, education, and parenting.

A Deep Dive into Adult ADHD: A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach For Mental Health Professionals

8 APA CE Credits co-sponsored by CE-Learning Systems
A Deep Dive into Adult ADHD explores the adult ADHD experience beyond the diagnostic criteria. The training is informed by current research, years of clinical experience working with adults with ADHD and lived experience. Varying presentations of ADHD and the intersections of ADHD with other identities will be presented.
Executive functioning differences are at the core of most of presenting concerns that adults with ADHD bring to therapy. Each executive functioning skill will be explained and participants will explore the real life impacts of challenges of each executive functioning skill, along with strategies to support clients with executive functioning challenges. Participants review the "Guidelines for Therapy with Adult ADHD" as identified by Bobbi-Jo. All training participants receive access to several bonus resources to help support their learning.
