Managing ADHD Through Mindfulness and Neurodiverse Wellness Strategies

A Strengths-Based Approach to Thriving with ADHD

with Dr. Manijeh Motaghy

This course offers an integrative health approach to understanding and managing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness, it addresses the unique challenges of the ADHD nervous system through education, self-awareness, and evidence-based tools for emotional regulation, focus, and life design.

Rather than focusing on deficits, we explore the Interest-Based Nervous System framework by Psychiatrist, Dr. William Dodson, and utilize Dr. Motaghy’s Mindful Life Optimization methodology to develop inner qualities and skills that reduce ADHD challenges, improve well-being, and restore self-worth and confidence.

Core Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

Understand how ADHD brain function differs from neurotypical models
Learn about the Interest-Based Nervous System and how motivation and attention function in ADHD
Identify common emotional and cognitive challenges, including rejection sensitivity, impulsivity, and overwhelm
Develop practical mindfulness tools tailored to ADHD challenges
Improve executive functioning, time management, and relational skills
Cultivate emotional resilience and self-compassion
Explore an optimized life path aligned with personal values and strengths

Intended Audience

Adults who are diagnosed/self-identify as ADHD, or those experiencing symptoms related to attention, emotional dysregulation, having a hard time sticking with tasks, experience forgetfulness, tardiness, and other ADHD characteristics. This curriculum also supports healthcare providers and caregivers seeking to deepen their understanding of better mindfulness-based interventions for adults with ADHD.
