Perfectionism and ADHD
Featuring Carol Robbins, PhD
Perfectionism isn’t often the first trait people associate with ADHD, yet many adults with ADHD describe themselves as perfectionists. Wanting to get things right can be a strength, but it becomes a burden when the fear of making mistakes leads to stress, frustration, or sadness. For some people, these feelings can strain relationships—prompting them to emotionally move away from their friends and family.
Carol Robbins, PhD, takes a compassionate look at why adults with ADHD invest so much time and emotional energy into trying to be perfect. You’ll gain insight into the roots of these patterns and learn practical strategies to help you get unstuck, shift expectations, and move forward with confidence.
