Book Club: A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD – Spring 2022

BMC COUNSELING SERVICES

SPRING 2022 Book Club!

A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD

Embrace Neurodiversity, Live, Boldly and Break Through Barriers

A six-week workshop series for education, reflection, and support

If you are a woman or AFAB person with ADHD, you have probably felt that you are different. Growing up, we learn which behaviours, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are tolerated, and which are frowned upon. Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and behave does not match up with the “expected” way of being in the world.

Join Health & Wellness Center counselors Polly & Sydney and a group of fellow ADHDoers to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame0based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain-based differences are character flaws.

Begins Wednesday, 2/9/2022 via Zoom 3:30-5:00pm

Contact Staff Counsellor, Sydney (sjbaker@brynmawr.edu)

If you are interested but have a scheduling conflict, please reach out to discuss.

Chaotic Families Group – Spring 2022

BMC COUNSELING SERVICES

SPRING 2022 CHAOTIC FAMILIES GROUP

 

The Chaotic Families group offers students support for managing difficult family relationships and dynamics. Students may find that they resonate with the term “chaotic family” for different reasons, including experiencing significant familial loss or transition, being exposed to abuse, or coming from a family system where individuals suffer from chronic physical or mental illness, including addiction. This group aims to offer a safe space in which students can share experiences, support one another, develop effective communication and boundary-setting skills, and examine the way chaotic family dynamics affect current relationships and sense of self.

 

Tuesdays, 4:15-5:30 PM, 2/1/22-4/26/22 (12 meetings total)

This therapy group will meet weekly via Zoom during the Spring 2022 semester.

Email Hilary Hla, Psy.D. at HHLA@brynmawr.edu to inquire and/or schedule a screening to learn more about the group.
