There may be multiple types of “therapy” being mixed up here. I think it’s important to accept that therapy is never going to “fix” the differences in brain function that folks with ADHD experience. Any attempt at behavioral therapy to “fix” an ADHD brain will fail.
But talk therapy can help some folks come to accept the differences that their ADHD means in terms of how to relate to other people or to better understand why how ADHD impacts their own behavior and self-perception.
I myself have found it’s much easier and happier to shape my life around my particular ADHD than trying to change my behavior (something that’s destined to fail and only compound the negative emotions associated with ADHD).
