About the event

You are not overly sensitive. You are not broken. Your brain simply works differently.

We invite you to a free psychoeducational workshop for women 18+ who want to better understand their everyday experience of ADHD — without judgment, pressure, or pretending that “everything is okay”.

The meeting is for women who:

• feel overwhelmed and tired despite constantly “holding things together”
• live under perfectionism and pressure, up to burnout
• experience intense emotions or rejection sensitivity (RSD)
• want to stop treating themselves as a problem and find strategies that work

What will the workshop cover?

This is a safe space to talk about what is often invisible but very burdensome. We will look at, among other things:

• the feeling of helplessness and where the sense of “nothing works” comes from
• the pressure to be “together” and perfectionism, which cost more than they give
• masking — and what it takes away in terms of energy and connection with yourself
• emotions and RSD — how they affect decisions, relationships and self-esteem
• simple ways to regulate tension when it becomes “too much”

This is not therapy or diagnosis. It is psychoeducation, normalization and concrete strategies you can take into daily life.

What next?

The workshop is the start of a broader series. In April there will be two online webinars or in-person events (format to be confirmed soon):

• ADHD and relationships — partnership, parenting, mental load
• How the ADHD brain works in women — nervous system, dopamine, hormones

Facilitators:

• Agnieszka Tilborghs — LinkedIn, trainer, TEDx mentor, president of the IIWTA Foundation, neurodiversity educator, communication and facilitation specialist
• Marcin Szczurski — LinkedIn, PhD in psychology, psychotherapist, vice‑president of IIWTA, practitioner working with ND teams

If you feel this might be for you — welcome! Your place awaits.

Help us better understand women’s needs — you can fill out a short anonymous survey even if you do not attend the workshop. Your voice will help us create actions that truly support. Survey
