Wrote a blog post to introduce ACT for ADHD, the sort of therapy #umaap is based on.

I hope it gives people an idea what it's about. I might have another go at it because surely I can explain it in fewer words than this!

There’s a brilliant programme UMAAP which helps people manage their ADHD. I found it very useful.

I did my 6th UMAAP last Saturday, I'd agree that it was nice to be in that space with people exchanging their insights and experiences

I completed my 6th and final UMAAP session this week with ADHD Ireland and ngl I'm going to miss it!
I'd really recommend for any adult with ADHD, even if like me you've done all the research and know all the "tips", simply bc being in a neuro-affirmative space is so refreshing and motivating.

I've applied to be an UMAAP facilitator and I've never wanted a job I've applied to more (never had to apply to be a psychotherapist).

23 other applicants. Nail-biting. Cross your fingers for me please 🤞 I should know if I've reached the interview stage on Monday

I got a Dx aged 55. Suddenly my life story made sense. I’m managing severe combined type ADHD with stimulants and the tools and explanations that UMAAP gave. Life is much better now.
