Unstuck: A Simple Strategy for Emotional Regulation with Your ADHD Brain

By Marcy Caldwell

A clear and proven framework that allows adults with ADHD to take charge of their emotions, from the founder of The Center for ADHD.

As a clinical psychologist specializing in Adult ADHD, Dr. Marcy Caldwell has found through her research that the regulatory system in the ADHD brain is wired differently: feelings turn on and off with great intensity like a light switch, compared to neurotypical brains where emotions build gradually like a dimmer. Many people feel unable to control when their switches turn on and off: 70% of the 15.5 million U.S. adults with ADHD report emotional dysregulation so significant that it impacts their life. But this symptom is rarely talked about--until now.

In Unstuck, Marcy reveals the methodology she's used with countless clients to help them manage these extremes. This book:
