Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that’s commonly associated with children. However, it’s important to know that it can persist into adulthood. While ADHD is a mental disorder that begins in childhood, sometimes the symptoms are so mild that it’s not diagnosed until much later in life. In fact, statistics have revealed that around 5% of adults in the United Stated can be diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Common symptoms of adult ADHD include:

• Forgetfulness
• Difficulties in focusing or concentrating
• Being easily distracted
• Difficulty understanding instructions

Consequently, individuals with ADHD often suffer from:

• Anxiety and depression
• Irritability
• Poor personal relationships
• Low self-esteem

Adult ADHD and Self-Esteem Issues

In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, adults who have ADHD tend to have a need for immediate gratification. This results in them having many negative experiences and life events.

For instance, they may struggle to perform academically, they may have problems in the workplace, or may find it difficult to make friends and form romantic relationships. These failures and disappointing experiences not only take a heavy toll on their self-esteem but can even affect their mental health.

Fortunately, there are certain ways adults with ADHD can boost their self-esteem, with hypnotherapy being one of the most effective ones.

Hypnosis for ADHD

In many cases, the underlying cause of ADHD is deep-rooted developmental psychological factors – and this is where hypnosis comes in. It identifies the root of the problem by working at a subconscious level. After the hypnotherapist has helped discover the root of the problem, they will help the client navigate their condition better.

This is a gentle and gradual process, during which the hypnotherapist will utilize different techniques to sharpen the client’s ability to stay alert as well as their ability to concentrate and focus. Hypnosis for ADHD also works on building the client’s confidence and self-esteem.

When you combine these two things, you began to understand how hypnotherapy empowers clients by giving them more control over their condition.
