The Empowering DBT Workbook for Adult ADHD: Practical DBT Skills for Emotional Regulation, Quick Relief from Rejection Sensitivity, and Lasting Change - Paperback

by Estelle Rose (Author)

Are you tired of snapping at someone you love, then spending the rest of the day drowning in shame?

Do small moments of criticism or rejection send your nervous system into a full-blown emotional spiral?

Have you tried mindfulness apps, habit trackers, and journaling prompts, only to discover that your ADHD brain does not politely access coping skills while it is busy going feral?

You are not too sensitive, too dramatic, or failing at emotional regulation because you "know better" but still react.

For many adults with ADHD, emotions hit fast, hard, and loud.

That is where DBT comes in. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach for handling intense emotions and impulsive reactions without making everything worse. But traditional DBT can be dense, worksheet-heavy, and not friendly to a brain already wrestling with executive dysfunction.

So this workbook does things differently. It takes real DBT skills and adapts them for actual ADHD life.

Inside, you'll discover:

* The Circuit-Breaker system to interrupt an emotional spiral before you say the thing or send the text

* The biggest mistake ADHD adults make with DBT skills

* The two skills to use when your body has gone into alarm mode

* Five low-energy tools for when you have barely enough executive function to locate your own socks

* How to repair after snapping at someone you care about

* Why rejection sensitivity can feel so physically painful with ADHD

* How to reduce emotional vulnerability long-term

* And all the real DBT skills I want you to have in your back pocket as both a certified DBT practitioner and fellow ADHDer

This isn't about being more "consistent" or "trying harder." It is about practical tools that actually stick when you are tired, distracted, or stressed.

If you are ready to stop treating every emotional spiral as proof that you are broken, start reading today and build DBT skills your ADHD brain can actually use.
