Once I get started : the adult ADHD program for turning your intentions into actions / Russell Ramsay, Ph.D.
"Despite prevailing assumptions, ADHD is still an underdiagnosed condition. Not only is the diagnostic scale subjective , but the hallmarks of ADHD often remain shrouded behind conditions like anxiety and depression. Most individuals with ADHD live through their formative years with symptoms that so powerfully derail their confidence, future, career, relationships, and sense of self. And many of them are not first diagnosed until adulthood despite their struggles. An esteemed psychologist and retired clinical professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine, Dr. Russell Ramsay, has worked with countless patients -- some suffering from severe cases of ADHD, others having experienced the common frustrations of undiagnosed ADHD for most of their lives. With the help of his groundbreaking program, his patients have found ways to support their brain, express their emotions, prioritize what matters, release shame, blame, and guilt, and see the world in the creative, bright, brilliant delight this neurodivergence offers. The solution isn't simply getting back to whatever is considered 'normal.' As Dr. Ramsay presents in this book, there are patient-proven specific solutions to bolstering our executive function and these methods combined with a more comprehensive understanding of the emotional pain-points at the root of ADHD can transform lives. Dr. Ramsay offers a paradigm shift to help us stop blaming and shaming ourselves for our moment-to-moment inattention and instead focus on the behaviors and routines that form the foundation of our lives. It's for anyone seeking a healthier relationship with their to-do list, more positive inner self-talk, and a new perspective on what is possible when we embrace and support our sometimes-unreliable minds"-- Provided by publisher.
