I enjoyed the information provided( and validation it gave me of my diagnosis.

While I didn’t establish the habit of returning to this handbook as regularly as I would have liked, I did see the value in its activities and plan to return to this in the future. I’m not sure that CBT is for me, but I still see how impactful it could be for someone.

One thing that stood out to me was the acknowledgment of the trauma that comes with a later in life ADHD diagnosis. I think that’s key to accepting and feeling comfortable with your diagnosis.

I work as a therapist and chose to review this book to see if the exercises would be beneficial for clients I work with. The CBT skills are not just helpful for ADHD management but a wide variety of issues that people face in daily life.

This book is something that I would use for homework or recommend to someone who has been in therapy for some time. The exercises may not have the same impact to someone newly diagnosed or who has not had therapy experience.

I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Helpful to figure out things but I’ve realized with this workbook that CBT is not a modality of therapy that works for me.

This books is informative and a great resource. It was interesting to review on my own, but best used as a tool along with a therapist.

This was very informative and gave a lot of useful, actionable information. I really found a lot of helpful information for organizing and planning with an ADHD brain.

A lot of helpful information presented in an easy-to-read and compassionate way. I will definitely purchase this book.

Extremely helpful workbook. I’ve already recommended this to a few of my friends. I felt seen after reading the first part. I can’t wait to work through this workbook.

Thank you Callisto Media and Netgalley for the arc!

I decided to read this book even though I personally don’t have adhd, but a close person to me does and after going through the workbook I‘ll buy it for them.

In my opinion you could use this for anything, obviously it has some things only about adhd, but it goes through controlling impulsivity and other things that i should work on!

It’s really well done, at the end of each chapter it has a bullet point takeaways
and there are also some quizzes to understand yourself better.

I love the concept of cbt in general and this was the perfect way to put it in a book!

This was an interesting book filled with well-structured and written exercises. I really liked how the first portion of this book discussed what adult ADHD really is and how it can impact your life and then also discussed what Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is. This book had a lot of helpful strategies and I really took away a lot of good skills. I really liked how each chapter focused on an aspect of ADHD and skills to build to support yourself. Great for those of us with ADHD.

What I appreciated most about this book was that it acknowledged the pain, shame, and trauma that often comes with living with ADHD, especially if undiagnosed until adulthood. Dealing with these feelings and the accompanying self-esteem issues is absolutely essential to thriving with ADHD and they're so often overlooked or ignored. The tone of this workbook is very affirming and sensitive to the actual person trying to navigate the world, not just the cluster of symptoms and challenges.

There was a nice mix of thought exercises, journal prompts, and participatory activities, including a few I hadn't seen before like a breath-holding exercise to explore discomfort tolerance and a responsibility wheel to help reframe thoughts around life events. What's nice is that each section can be broken down into very small chunks, and there's no need to work through in any particular order--very accommodating for the ADHD brain! There was perhaps an opportunity to include more (perhaps even a whole section) about relationship and interpersonal skills, but the focus on the self is a nice foundation for future growth. This is an excellent resource for teens and adults living with ADHD!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Thiis is a well organized, well written Workbook focusing on CBT skills for ADHD.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a proven therapy for anxiety and depression,

The author shows how CBT can be invaluable for adults with ADHD.
I do think that this is not a workbook for someone with a new diagnosis.
In this case. It might prove overwhelming.

Best for those who are familiar with ADHD and looking for other strategies for coping.

As an Adult with ADHD who has also been in therapy for a long time, I was excited to see a workbook including some of the strategies that have worked for me. I was looking forward to learning more strategies. I didn’t care for the author’s tone in some of the pages such as one that speaks of “so called time blindness” and recommending a smart watch as the answer. ADHD is so often minimized and generalized. This is one of the examples where I felt the author also did this. This book provides many charts and checklist that could be very useful. This book could be good for someone who is very knowledgeable about these practices and need checklists etc. But I wouldn’t recommend using it without a therapist for someone newly diagnosed, or someone who hasn’t done a lot of work in self acceptance.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a great book to help you think about ADHD and how to act to it. Diagnosed at age 53 it can possible help me but I think it should be hand out by professional adhd coaches. To answer questions is one thing but adhd people are likely to do it quick and need to be questioned out by a coach.
I really think this workbook is a great asset for a coach or psychologist to hand out to the add/adhd patient.

I found the start of this book informative. I do wish that the content at the beginning was a little bit longer. I found the exercises helpful and will be using them more in life. Especially the section on negative thinking as it is an area that I often struggle with alongside impulsivity.

A thoughtfully put together workbook that makes a point to maintain inclusive language and approachability. Like anything of this nature, it would take time to see how the work looks in practice, but everything I have read seems like a promising start.

Really insightful!

This book is excellent for someone who wants to learn more about ADHD and find some helpful tips along the way. It was well written and easy to understand.

Thank You to Kristen Baird-Goldman and Callisto Media, Rockridge Press, for the digital ARC provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

I picked this book up because I've recently discovered more and more people in my life who are adults with ADHD. I found this text insightful and I appreciate being in a position to offer some small tips and advice. It really did help me develop a deeper understanding. I appreciated that the book was set up well enough for me to not get lost in the science.
