Unstuck
Autor Marcy Caldwellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 apr 2027
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:
- Is tailored to keep the ADHD brain engaged, with short sections, understandable exercises, and visual aids (including plenty of charts and illustrations)
- Uses an evidence-based, client-tested framework of color-coded strategies to recognize the intensity of an emotion and de-escalate it (from a raging red to a calm green)
- Offers tricks for remembering and utilizing the system even in highly dysregulated moments
- Explains the science behind the ADHD brain's regulatory system in easy-to-understand terms

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