THE TORONTO STAR BESTSELLER | THE GLOBE AND MAIL B ESTSELLER One minute you’re on a roll, churning out work like a machine. Then, the next day even putting on socks feels overwhelming. Sound familiar? This frantic crash cycle isn’t just a personality quirk or laziness. As therapist Jenna Free (@adhdwithjennafree) explains, the real culprit to your ADHD highs and lows is dysregulation. If you have ADHD (or simply suspect you do) and you’ve found yourself frustrated with all of the hacks—half-completed planners, too many screenshots to count, timers going off every 30 minutes, and sticky notes covering your desk and walls— you’re not alone. If all these “solutions” have fallen flat and you’re struggling to keep your head above water—this book is for you. The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation can help you reset your nervous system, gain control of your life, and even begin to enjoy it. What you’ll discover inside: Reasons why ADHD often feels like chaotic highs and crashing lows Explanations of how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your daily struggles Practical steps to reset your nervous system, thoughts, and actions Tools to help you stop avoiding tasks Prompts to help you zoom out to what really matters most Engaging sidebars and fun graphics to bring the teachings to life What you won’t find inside? Quick fixes and band aids Hard assignments and homework Shame and shoulds Plus, this book is full of fun graphics and illustrations, so if the thought of a long, boring book is overwhelming you—no fear! As someone who has ADHD herself, Jenna made this book specifically designed with your brain in mind! If you're ready to rethink how you approach ADHD, take back control, and finally live a life that doesn’t feel so hard, we’ve got you. (P.S. You'll even figure out why putting on socks feels impossible some days... and how to overcome it!)
