Practical, evidence-based workshops designed for the ADHD mind
What to expect
​​
These workshops came directly out of conversations with our clients and ADHD group program participants.
We asked what they most wanted to understand about their ADHD, and the same themes kept coming up: the emotional weight of rejection, the paralysis of perfectionism and procrastination, and the mystery of motivation that seems to disappear exactly when you need it most.
Each workshop runs for two hours and is delivered by a clinical psychologist with specialist experience in ADHD support. The content is grounded in current research and designed to be genuinely useful, accessible without being oversimplified, and relevant to adult ADHDers navigating real life.
Whether you are already working with an ADHD therapist in Melbourne, exploring your options, or simply looking to understand your brain better, these workshops offer a practical entry point.
They sit alongside our eight-week ADHD Group Therapy program and our ADHD workbooks as part of a broader suite of resources designed to meet you wherever you are.
Workshop 1 — Rejection Sensitivity and ADHD
Rejection sensitivity is one of the most talked-about and least understood aspects of ADHD.
For many ADHDers, the fear of rejection or criticism is not just uncomfortable, it can be genuinely destabilising, shaping relationships, career decisions, and self-perception in ways that are hard to untangle.
This workshop explores the neuroscience behind rejection sensitivity, why it shows up so intensely for ADHDers, and how to build a more grounded response to the moments that tend to knock you sideways.
Workshop 2 — Perfectionism and Procrastination in ADHD
Perfectionism and procrastination in ADHD are more closely connected than they might appear.
For many ADHDers, procrastination is not laziness or poor time management but a nervous system response to pressure, uncertainty, or the fear of not doing something well enough.
This workshop unpacks the
relationship between the two, explores what is driving the pattern beneath the surface, and offers concrete strategies to move forward without waiting for conditions to feel perfect.
Workshop 3 — Motivation and Task Initiation in ADHD
The ADHD brain does not respond to importance or intention in the way a neurotypical brain does.
Motivation tends to be interest-driven and inconsistent, which means that even tasks you genuinely want to complete can feel impossible to start.
This workshop explores the neurological basis of motivation and task initiation in ADHD, why willpower and urgency are unreliable long-term strategies, and how to work with your brain's natural rhythms rather than against them.
