Unstuck : A Guide to Emotional Regulation for ADHD Brains

A clear and proven framework to help adults with ADHD manage and regulate their emotions

A clear and proven framework to help adults with ADHD manage and regulate their emotionsEmotional dysregulation shows up in multiple ways—like the paralyzing anxiety that comes when a big decision needs to be made, or the inability to let go of a stressful conversation at work, or even the frustration that bubbles into an angry outburst when our kids misbehave. The result is that adults with ADHD rarely get a break from the severity of their emotions. UNSTUCK explains the science behind the ADHD brain’s regulatory system and provides evidence-based strategies for rewiring the brain’s ability to handle challenging emotions. Chapters are purposefully tailored to the ADHD brain, with short sections, exercises and colorful metaphors. Through Marcy’s proprietary tool—the Emotion Meter—she demonstrates that the key is recognizing the intensity of your emotions so you can de-escalate, going from a raging Red to a flooded Orange, down to a stabilizing Yellow and finally entering a calm Green.
