Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldy, and Break Through Barriers

A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD

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.

Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, and Break Through Barriers

Sabrina Ryan wants to be an ordinary teenager - family, high school, maybe get a boyfriend. Instead she has Devon. Devon is the blood thirsty monster that terrorizes her dreams - a demonic little boy responsible for killing their parents. When she woke from the coma, she tried to tell everyone what he'd done. Instead no one believed her and she got a ticket to a mental hospital. Now seventeen, this intelligent, artistic, borderline-paranoid-schizophrenic is moving in with her grandfather and she's determined to be normal, even if she doesn't know what it means. But ordinary things, like ordering at a restaurant and trying to fit in, prove more difficult than she expected. With no family - no friends - no sense of reality - and no cure for Devon, she decides she's better off with no one, until she meets Riley. A captivating young bibliophile working for her grandfather, he knows more about her past than she'd like. Overwhelmed when things heat up quickly, they cool down fast when Sabrina learns he has a secret that threatens to tear them apart. Artistic achievements, horrifying clowns and lucid dreaming propel IF YOU DIE BEFORE I WAKE on a fantastic ride of Technicolor evil and do-or-die determination. If Sabrina can figure it all out, she just might get the normal life she's always wanted. Billed as "an effectively calibrated suspense novel" by Publishers Weekly, IF YOU DIE BEFORE I WAKE is essentially a young adult novel, with just enough paranormal horror and romance to give it a complex - just like Sabrina.

If You Die Before I Wake

Aus dem Rahmen fallen kommt nicht gut an. Besonders Frauen mit ADHS erfahren das tagtäglich im Job und Privatleben. Bereits als Mädchen erleben sie eine Gesellschaft, die bestimmte Denk-, Lern- und Lebensweisen vorzieht. Diese Glaubenssätze werden auf unzählige Arten vermittelt und erzeugen Gefühle der Unzulänglichkeit und Unangepasstheit. Die ADHS-Expertinnen Sari Solden und Michelle Frank unterstützen in ihrem Workbook Frauen mit Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit- und Hyperaktivitätsstörung dabei, ihre individuellen Stärken einzusetzen, mit Selbstvertrauen und Klarheit zu kommunizieren und für sich selbst einzustehen. Dabei gehen die Psychologinnen mit Übungen, Strategien und neuartigen Techniken auf die einzelnen Aspekte von ADHS ein, brechen Denkmuster auf und sagen dem Slogan »Was nicht passt, wird passend gemacht« den Kampf an. Durch ihren Ansatz, die traditionelle ADHS-Behandlung mit modernen Behandlungsmethoden wie der Akzeptanz- und Commitment-Therapie (ACT) zu verbinden, können Frauen aktiv ihr volles Potenzial im Leben ausschöpfen und auf den Rahmen pfeifen.

Hilfreiche Strategien und praktische Übungen, um negative Glaubenssätze abzulegen und selbstbestimmt zu leben
