An uplifting guide to unlearning negative ADHD self-beliefs-plus guidance for loved ones on how to boost confidence in their ADHDers, from the bestselling viral duo ADHD_Love, authors of “Dirty Laundry.”
One of the biggest struggles for those with ADHD is the negative self-talk they've internalized over a lifetime of trying to fit into a neurotypical world. In Small Talk, life partners Richard Pink and Roxanne Emery examine the ten biggest lies pulled from their online community and provide tips for disproving these for both people with ADHD and those who love an ADHDer.
Every chapter starts with a common statement, like "I'm just lazy" and "I will never be good enough." Then Rich and Rox each share earnest moments from their lived experiences to show you how they reframe and unpack these statements. They provide you with the framework for how to take down these phrases and replace them with new ones whenever they appear. Learn to help your ADHDer with motivation by doing a task alongside them or add phrases to your vocabulary that remind you that living with ADHD isn't about getting rid of it but managing it with compassion and the right support. “Small Talk” is for anyone who needs a guide for dismantling their negative self-talk and turning it into confidence building beliefs instead.
“Small Talk” will help you:
• Create more love and understanding for yourself and one another • Turn guilt and frustration into honesty and compassion • Approach goals in ways that work for neurodiverse brains • Better understand and empower neurodiverse people • Adopt house rules to create an environment of mutual support
Join Rich and Rox as they show everyone what it looks like to break free from negative self-talk, overcome self-hatred, and live your most authentic and happy life.
