Why Brightspots Exists

Most people naturally focus more on criticism than praise. It's how our brains are wired to help us avoid mistakes and stay safe. However, this tendency to dwell on negative feedback while forgetting positive achievements is significantly amplified for people with ADHD or PTSD.

Their brains often struggle to retain and recall successes, creating what experts call "success amnesia". This means that even when they accomplish great things or receive genuine praise, those positive moments can quickly fade from memory, leaving only the critical voices behind.

Brightspots was created to break that cycle. A gentle space to capture and preserve every win, compliment, and accomplishment. When self-doubt creeps in, you'll have real evidence showing just how capable and valued you truly are.
