At a medical appointment, have you ever felt that the doctor dismissed your or your child’s symptoms? That the provider was implying that you were overreacting?
It’s important to know when a provider is gaslighting you — when they say that your symptoms are all in your head; blame your age, weight, or gender for your concerns; or refuse relevant testing. It is also important to understand why ADHD brains tend to be more susceptible to gaslighting, and what you can do if this happens to you. In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why ADHD brains are more susceptible to gaslighting
- How to distinguish between gaslighting and honest provider error or lack of knowledge
- Examples of how gaslighting can effectively manipulate intelligent, educated targets
- Proactive approaches to work with your physician, not against them
- Ways to train yourself and your child to minimize the risk of gaslighting
- Strategies to keep yourself and your child clear and informed when gaslighting does occur
