    ADHD and the Sandwich Generation with Anita Robertson LCSW

    ADHD and the Sandwich Generation with Anita Robertson LCSW

    In today’s episode we talk to Anita Robertson, LCSW. 
    Anita is an ADHD and relationship therapist.  Her goal is to help individuals and couples understand ADHD and find the right systems that work for them. 
     
    Anita talks to us about navigating the challenges of being in the sandwich generation while having ADHD.  We discuss the challenges of caring for neurodiverse children and ailing parents - the impact it takes on our executive function, how it affects our relationships, and the toll it can take on our well-being.  As well as the need for social supports and understanding for adults in this uniquely challenging period.  Of course, we also talk about tools and strategies for navigating this time in our lives!
