Is it even worth doing the 6 sessions of NHS CBT for ADHD?

General Questions/Advice/Support

I’ve been offered some support through NHS Talking Therapies after months of waiting, but it’s just 6 sessions of standard CBT. I’ve heard from so many people that CBT feels a bit like gaslighting when you have ADHD because it doesn’t account for executive dysfunction. Has anyone found it helpful, or should I just look for someone who specialises in neurodivergence privately? I’m on a budget, so I’m feeling a bit stuck. TIA
