Minimizing the “Collateral Damage†of Adult ADHD/ADD:
How to Stop ADD From Destroying Relationships & Career
Presented by George Sachs PsyD, Gestalt Psychologist
Many of us have come to the diagnosis of Adult ADHD late in life, leaving behind a trail of destruction that negatively impacted relationships and career.  I call this “Collateral Damage.â€Â  My discussion will focus on the “collateral damage†of ADHD; specifically looking at how our symptoms of ADHD lead to serious problems in our lives.  We will go beyond the common traits of ADHD, like tardiness, procrastination, disorganization, etc. to look at the deeper damage these symptoms cause to us and our loved ones.
For example:
We will address these questions and more, and learn how to accept the damage we caused and move on with empathy, and self-knowledge.  Dr. George Sachs will focus on developing “awareness†as the key to reducing the collateral damage caused by ADD.
