About This Book

This 2019 follow-up to "Women with ADD" shifts from theory to practice. Solden and Frank combine CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises, and real-world strategies specifically designed for how ADHD manifests in women.

The book directly addresses the emotional toll of years of undiagnosed ADHD: the grief of "lost years," the anger at a system that failed to identify them, and the challenge of rebuilding an identity post-diagnosis.

Its workbook-style format makes it immediately actionable rather than just educational.

Key Takeaways

  • Mindfulness and self-compassion practices tailored specifically for ADHD brains
  • Strategies for managing the "emotional backlog" that accumulates from years of masking
  • Practical frameworks for communicating ADHD needs to partners, employers, and family
