A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD: Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldy, and Break Through Barriers

Product Information

Description: 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. Buy Now This is a guide to help you do the important work that comes before ADHD strategies can be effective. Don’t misunderstand—strategies are essential when you live with ADHD. But are you looking for strategies that will allow you to reach your goals? Or are you looking for strategies that will help you blend in with the neurotypicals? Without understanding, you cannot accept. Without acceptance, there is no path to living out loud with ADHD. These things have made me a more empathetic teacher to students, but I fear they’ve also made me a nightmare to supervisors, employers, administration, and even (I fear) friends and partners. I frequently thank my friends for “tolerating” me. You can only begin to believe in yourself when someone believes in you. Sari and Michelle offer that belief. Their faith in the potential and power of women with ADHD is refreshing. It takes bravery to stop hiding. Buying this book is an act of bravery. It’s the first step to believing in yourself. To believing you are capable of much more than camouflaging yourself as normal. This is not a book of strategies to help you appear normal.

I’ve lived with a lot of secrecy and shame throughout my life, largely berating myself for being a failure as an adult. Yes, I managed to muscle myself through and complete a doctoral program, but so much of that also came from patient, kind, understanding, and empathetic professors, mentors, and friends who put a lot of effort into assuaging these fears (well, at least enough to calm my brain to get though the next hurdle). Plus when you sign up, you'll also get access to an exclusive updated PDF excerpt from Sari's celebrated book, Journeys Through ADDulthood.This one’s a classic and belongs on any ADHD reading list. Though not exclusively for women, I like it for the case studies. Right off the bat I related to Jim, but in the entire book there were so many relatable moments. My favorite part, aside from the stories, were the lists of practical actions at the end of each section. My Review The newly published “ A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD” by Sari Solden, MS and Michelle Frank PsyD is more than a guide to overcome your struggles with ADHD but insight into living a life free from the shame and negativity we carry with us.

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. A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD: Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, and Break Through Barriers A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD walks you through the process of confronting uncomfortable facts of living with ADHD. ADHD is not all about not being able to sit still, or pay attention properly, or get things done. ADHD has so many other facets that leak into our everyday lives. Feelings of unworthiness or shame at how we live cause us to be one person on the inside and quite another on the outside. Without confronting these differences and accepting our challenges, we hide who we really are from the rest of the world.From the home and workplace to school and in relationships, this update from the 1999 classic is more comprehensive than ever. The complexity of women and girls is captured by team of two therapists and a pediatrician/ADHD specialist using clinical examples, research and case material and does not shy away from controversy. All of us have our own pre-conceived notion of the disease and are aware of stereotypes, but this book is straightforward and to the point and does not focus on either of those. As we all know, relationships can suffer greatly when ADHD is involved, and this book can help identify why we do some of the things we do, and how to understand and correct those behaviors. Buy Now About The Author: From ADHD meds to addiction recovery, to specific neurotransmitter measurements and SPECT functional brain imaging, Parker encourages a fresh perspective based on real data. Parker’s life mission is simple: translate contemporary brain and body science for practical office applications. New, easily measurable brain evidence-points weave a complex, interactive mind-body web that maps out improved ADHD treatment protocols. It sounds complicated but creates common-sense, workable solutions. This week I’m re-releasing my interview with Sari Solden, which originally aired as Episode 63 in December of 2021. Getting the chance to interview Sari was a dream come true for me, and I’m not at all surprised that it’s been one of my most listened to episodes to date. Her books have been so influential in my own life and the lives of so many women I’ve gotten the chance to meet and work with along the way. The solutions they DO talk about come with caveats like, strategies need to be personalized, and come from a place of power instead of pain. Overall, here’s the big idea the authors (who earned bonus points for being women with adhd themselves) state that moved me: Arthur L.

Hearing stories from other women who also have the same struggles as I do (messiness, running late, forgetfulness, bad habits, the list goes ON...), this book did help me feel less hopeless and more positive, thus not only embracing, but owning my ADHD. It’s something we can never actually get over or rid of. ADHD is part of who I am ... and it’s here to stay, whether I like it or not!
