Perfectionism and ADHD: Making ‘Good Enough’ Work for
Event Details
Perfectionism and ADHD: Making ‘Good Enough’ Work for You
ADDitude Live Webinar with ADHD Expert Dr. Sharon Saline
Register for this FREE expert webinar to learn about how perfectionism takes root in the ADHD brain.
Do you set unrealistic goals and worry about disappointing others? Are your personal expectations based on “shoulds” instead of your known strengths and interests? Does this result in shame and low self-esteem?
These behaviors point to a cycle of perfectionism, an unhealthy insistence on personal flawlessness that increases anxiety and holds you back from the natural process of learning that’s part of daily living. Perfectionism is common among teens and adults with ADHD who struggle with wanting something to be right so much that it becomes difficult to start (and complete) tasks, assignments, and projects. Though perfectionism can be motivating, it can also keep you overfocused on the end result and not the process of getting there.
In this webinar, Dr. Sharon Saline will explain how to stop setting unreasonable standards, engaging in negative comparisons to others, and criticizing yourself for living with ADHD. You will learn how to understand and manage the root causes of perfectionism, examine the role of imposter syndrome, decrease negative self-talk, and increase your capacity for personal compassion. You will understand how to improve executive functioning skills related to procrastination and productivity, stop reflexive shame, and create techniques for managing stress. With these resources, you’ll begin to nurture the essential resilience of a growth mindset and accept yourself as you truly are — perfectly imperfect.
In this free, hour-long webinar, you will learn to:
- Understand the relationship between anxiety, perfectionism, and ADHD
- Improve executive functioning skills related to procrastination and productivity
- Set realistic expectations based on previous successful experiences
- Develop techniques for addressing imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and shame
- Increase the capacity for mindful self-compassion and self-acceptance
Date: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 1-2pm ET.

Mindfulness Para Vivir Mejor Con TDAH
Mindful approaches to living better with ADHD for parents, children and teens
An Actualizados workshop by Dr. Sharon Saline
Would you like to help children, teens and young adults with ADHD live with better self-management, social skills and personal insight? In this workshop, Dr. Sharon Saline will show you how mindful self-compassion improves metacognition, emotional regulation, impulse control, and other executive functioning skills that frequently challenge people with ADHD.
After reviewing recent research on ADHD, executive functioning skills and co-occurring conditions, Dr. Saline will show you how to reduce stress, anxiety and shame in your clients through mindful self-awareness. Mindfulness builds cognitive skills over time that support people in being more focused, making thoughtful choices, starting and maintaining routines and treating others better.
When children and teens and young adults learn and practice these techniques, they engage in less negative self-talk and possess more confidence to apply themselves more successfully in school or work, at home and with peers. This workshop will be both didactic and experiential in nature. You will leave with practical, innovative tools to assist your clients in living with more calm, contentment and satisfying connections.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the biological, behavioral and emotional factors related to ADHD and executive functioning skills based on recent research.
- Discuss how co-existing disorders including anxiety, depression and trauma affect neurodivergent children and teens.
- Define the primary tenets of mindfulness and how its practice affects cognition, emotion and specific executive functioning skills related to living with ADHD.
- Understand how to use mindfulness in sessions with children, teens, young adults and families to reduce stress, shame and negativity and increase confidence and connection.
- Manage your own reactivity and frustration with mindful self-compassion.
Date: March 19, 2022
Time: 10am – 1pm ART (UTC-3) // 9am – 12pm EST
This workshop will be accessible to English & Spanish speakers.

She will explain how social anxiety works and offer tools for reducing your discomfort while improving your communication skills. You will learn how to initiate and maintain friendships, manage rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and improve your ability to connect with partners, peers, children, and even love interests.
