Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity. If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known—all your life—that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways—from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents. Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It’s time for a change. A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life. If you’re ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way.

Download or read book Women with Attention Deficit Disorder written by Sari Solden and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, psychotherapist Sari Solden's, groundbreaking book, explains how every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. This pioneering book explores treatment and counseling options, and uses real-life case histories to examine the special challenges women with AD/HD face, such as the shame of not fulfilling societal expectations. Solden explains that AD/HD affects just as many women as men, and often results in depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement. Included in this revised edition is a brand new chapter on friendship challenges for women with AD/HD. Three empowering steps -- restructuring one's life, renegotiating relationships, and redefining self-image -- help women take control of their lives and enjoy success on their own terms. "Sari Solden has used her personal and professional experience to shine some light into the dark closet inhabited by far too many ADD women... She empowers ADD women by validating their experience as worthwhile human beings who struggle with serious organizational problems in many areas of their lives." (Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo, authors of You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy")

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting the Impact of ADHD and Complex Trauma, I have battled the relentless demons of ADHD and complex trauma, a struggle that has left me adrift and disconnected. This is my testament to the profound ways these afflictions have shaped my existence. Emotional isolation has been my constant companion, weaving its tendrils through my childhood and into adulthood. A pervasive sense of being an outsider, even in a crowded room, has etched itself deep within my soul. Abandonment and neglect have left me longing for connection, forever searching for a place to belong. The impairment of my executive functions has cast a shadow over every aspect of my life. Simple tasks become mountains to conquer as forgetfulness and disorganization chip away at my aspirations. Time slips through my grasp, an elusive concept that defies my attempts to plan, prioritize, and complete tasks consistently. The grip of impulsivity and self-destructive tendencies is suffocating. The allure of immediate gratification blinds me to the long-term consequences, leaving behind a wake of regret. Relationships fracture, dreams wither, and my selfesteem crumbles under the weight of impulsive choices. Restlessness consumes me, a perpetual undercurrent that keeps me on edge. Fidgeting, pacing--anything to appease the unrelenting need for movement. Amidst the chaos, finding stillness feels like an impossible feat. My emotions surge like tidal waves, a tempest within. Anger, sadness, anxiety --they crash upon the shores of my soul, leaving me feeling defenseless and lost. Navigating this emotional whirlwind is a grueling battle, often fought alone. Yet, within this storm, I find strength. I refuse to surrender to the darkness. I am committed to untangling the knots that bind me, to discovering coping strategies that will guide me towards healing. This is my narrative. This is my odyssey. And as I embark on this journey, I extend my hand to those who tread a similar path. Together, we can navigate the depths of ADHD and complex trauma, supporting one another as we emerge stronger, wiser, and filled with newfound resilience.

Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action. In ADHD 2.0, Drs. Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this “variable attention trait,” draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimizing the downside and maximizing the benefits of ADHD at any age. They offer an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including • Find the right kind of difficult. Use these behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual’s unique strengths. • Reimagine environment. What specific elements to look for—at home, at school, or in the workplace—to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind. • Embrace innate neurological tendencies. Take advantage of new findings about the brain’s default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD. • Tap into the healing power of connection. Tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection “the other Vitamind C” and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD. • Consider medication. Gets the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options. As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks potential.

Many women with ADHD think they have to struggle with this disorder, but this guide will teach you how to live with it by proving to yourself, first and foremost, that you are a woman with so many qualities. All your life, you have felt different and have been made to feel so: you have never been able to keep your attention span high, you have always been hyperactive, and you have always related to others in ways other people do not. This wall that you have always sensed and never understood why it existed has made you feel wrong and mistaken. You've gone years without knowing what was wrong with you: you keep forgetting things, never finish the task you start, and you're impulsive, disorganized, anxious, with low self-esteem and a low mood.

Download or read book The Effect of ADHD on Relationships written by Selma Evans and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you or a loved one have ADHD and struggle with maintaining healthy relationships? Do you find yourself constantly frustrated and misunderstood in your relationships because of ADHD? Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD? Couples in healthy romantic relationships often face challenges such as communication breakdowns, trust issues and differences in values and lifestyles. In relationships where one partner has ADHD, these challenges can be amplified. ADHD can cause difficulties with organisation, time management and emotional regulation, which can lead to misunderstandings and frustration. Additionally, the partner who does not have ADHD may feel neglected or unimportant due to their partner's distractibility and forgetfulness. However, with the right strategies and support, couples can navigate these challenges and build a strong and loving relationship. Couple dynamics are unique and often complex, yet I highly recommend that you read this book if the following feelings surface in your relationship: ·Loneliness, ignored and unappreciated. ·Feeling tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship. ·Anger and emotional stalemate. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse. ·Feeling that you cannot count on your partner. You always have to organise everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness. ·Frustration. A spouse without ADHD might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again. ·Sometimes it seems that your partner does not care about you. ·Exhaustion and depletion. The spouse without ADHD carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship. You experience a lot of resentment, but also recognise the need to try and understand the situation. It can be a challenging and complex process. If you are the person with ADHD: ·You may feel constantly criticised for what you do. ·You may not feel respected as an equal when you tend to avoid your partner. ·You may feel like your partner is in control of every aspect of your life. ·You may feel ashamed. Sufferers of ADHD often hide a large amount of shame, sometimes compensating with bluster or retreat. ·You may feel overwhelmed, secretly or overtly, by the constant stress caused by ADHD symptoms. · You may feel different. The brain is often racing, and people with ADHD experience the world in a way that others do not easily understand or relate to. ·You find that the partner without ADHD complains, nags and becomes increasingly resentful, while the ADHD partner feels judged and misunderstood, becomes defensive and pulls away. The individual with ADHD often has a sense that something is wrong, but may struggle to identify the root cause. They may have received a misdiagnosis earlier in life or only learned about their condition as an adult, leading them to believe they were unintelligent or incapable for much of their life. This book is a culmination of years of experience and expertise in maintaining healthy romantic relationships. It contains valuable insights and techniques that are essential to saving your relationship from potential pitfalls that could lead to a breakup. Do not wait until it is too late – get your hands on this book now to safeguard your relationship's future.
