The DBT Workbook for Adult ADHD
Now available
‘The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Adult ADHD’ by Scott E. Spradlin, LPC and Mariah Spradlin, LSCSW
It’s an open secret among ADHD clinicians that behind the well-known attention deficit symptoms of the condition lurks another overlooked factor — emotional disregulation — and research is finally starting to bear this out. Scott Spradlin and Mariah Spradlin are in a unique position to bring the real-life benefits of these insights to adults with ADHD, being part of that population themselves.
Before assembling furniture together (which they avoid whenever possible) Scott and Mariah first sit down to discuss how to regulate their emotions, attention and behaviors. These are the very skills that the authors used to write this book — and now they’re sharing them with you as fellow travelers on the adult ADHD path.
Why DBT?
Scott and Mariah are also intensively trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which offers evidence-based tools to help you self-regulate, improve attention and increase interpersonal effectiveness. But it’s not just about meeting daily obligations. Using the DBT concept of core mindfulness, you’ll also learn how to stay grounded in the present moment of wise mind and create a life that is rich with meaning, love and connection.

-
Adults newly diagnosed with ADHD
-
Anyone who wants self-guided and evidenced-based tools to understand and manage their own ADHD
