Powerful dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to balance intense emotions and improve your life with ADHD.

If you have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you may also struggle with emotion dysregulation—which can actually lead to worsened ADHD symptoms, such as difficulty with interpersonal relationships, staying focused, and executive functioning issues. In order to treat your symptoms, it's essential to find emotional balance. This empowering workbook will help you take charge of your ADHD, starting at the source.

Written by two experts in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)—who also live with ADHD—this workbook offers evidence-based tools and strategies to help you self-regulate, better manage your emotions, and align your actions with your goals. Using the DBT concept of the "wise mind," you'll also learn how to stay grounded in the present moment, increase self-control, and improve your overall well-being.

Discover step-by-step guidance to: manage distressing emotions and situations; improve attention and cognitive skills; increase interpersonal effectiveness; make positive lifestyle changes; and cultivate resilience and self-compassion.

It's time to replace your distracted mind with your wise mind—so you can reach your full potential and start living with more focus, awareness, and the happiness you deserve.
