Lynda, there are two important things I’ve taken away from our sessions and this workshop that have had a lasting impact. First, I’ve come to accept that I likely have ADHD, and with that understanding, I’ve developed more compassion for myself. The second point is about communication. You’ve taught me to slow down, think, and use language in ways I hadn’t before. These are two valuable lessons/tools you have taught me, I am forever grateful to you for this.. 

 I have been a psychotherapist for over 45 years and have attended many conferences during my career . I had the good fortune to be invited to Lynda Hoffman’s – COULD IT BE ADHD ? – talk early January 2025 . I was very impressed by Lynda’s succinct and extremely helpful presentation. As most conferences it was well documented and she used the slide format to walk us through her topic . Where it was most comprehensive was in the diagnostic ‘meat and potatoes’ section. We looked at the varied manifestations/presentations with a followup questions list. Lynda presented case histories and treatment plans that had proved successful. Strong in its’ academic/ research ground, it came alive with Lynda’s compassionate, caring delivery. Another strength/success was in the small group format which lent itself quickly to intimate and in some cases self disclosure dialogue . There was a lot of ‘practice’ in the room and Lynda skillfully acknowledged and welcomed it . It is clear that Lynda is passionate about this topic and would like it more included in intake interviews and rightly so. With this conference she has been successful in doing so. I left the talk more informed but also very happy with the experience , a rare occurrence in my ‘continued education’ experience . I highly recommend this enlightening conference to all .
