In this 60-minute NBCC-approved podcourse, I'm joined by Michelle Witte, RP, to explore how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be effectively adapted for adults with ADHD, especially when challenges with executive functioning interfere with insight, follow-through, and real-life change. We discuss how ADHD often presents beyond the common stereotypes, especially in adults and adolescents who may struggle with time blindness, disorganization, emotional dysregulation, task initiation, and inconsistent follow-through. We also explore why traditional CBT may fall short when it does not account for executive functioning difficulties, and how therapists can modify their approach to better support implementation, accountability, and sustainable progress. This training supports therapists in recognizing the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns commonly associated with ADHD, understanding how executive functioning deficits affect treatment engagement, and applying practical CBT-based strategies that improve follow-through in everyday life. Our hope is that you'll walk away with fresh strategies you can integrate into your clinical work right away, and you can also earn one NBCC continuing education contact hour by completing this Podcourse. 🎧 Listen for free, or earn 1 NBCC-approved continuing education contact hour for just $5. 📍 Get 50% off your first Podcourse here! 🫐Sponsored by Berries: Use code TherapyShow50 for $50 off your first month - CLICK HERE.🫐 Learning Objectives: Differentiate how ADHD presents in adults and adolescents beyond common stereotypes Identify common executive functioning challenges (e.g., time blindness, disorganization, task initiation difficulties) that impact treatment Apply CBT-based interventions adapted specifically for clients with ADHD Utilize practical strategies to improve client follow-through, engagement, and accountability between sessions Recognize the role of emotional dysregulation, avoidance, and shame in ADHD and integrate appropriate interventions About Michelle Witte, RP: Michelle Witte, RP, is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario and a member of the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies.
