ADHD High Achievers' Self-Compassion Challenge
- High achievers with ADHD often suffer from low self-compassion despite their success.
- They rely on urgency, interest, and other people to override avoidance and get tasks done.
The ADHD Trifecta and Avoidance
- The ADHD motivational "trifecta" includes urgency, interest, and other people.
- This trifecta can suppress negative feelings long enough to complete tasks but doesn't resolve underlying self-criticism.
Accept ADHD Support Strategies
- Accept that relying on others and external motivators is okay for managing ADHD tasks.
- Incorporate co-working, body doubling, or timers compassionately rather than as signs of failure.
