When ADHD triggers conflict, repair often turns into self-blame. Learning to pause, ground, and lead from Self allows for ownership without over-apology. Through IFS, EMDR, and Sensorimotor techniques, it’s possible to calm the body, soften protective parts, and speak from clarity instead of shame. 90-minute+ Intensives offer space for these patterns to shift more fully. ADHD therapy in Washington, DC helps repair feel steady, compassionate, and real.

Always being the strong one can look like resilience, but it often hides a quiet loneliness. When you’ve spent years holding it all together, asking for help can feel foreign—even unsafe. Over time, that constant self-reliance can leave you disconnected from your own needs and unsure how to rest. Therapy offers space to slow down, soften old instincts, and relearn what it means to feel supported.
