Marcy Caldwell
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

It can have a big effect on not only what you feel on the inside, but also how those strong emotions get expressed on the outside. Fortunately, Unstuck offers everything you need to manage those runaway emotions when you need it most so you can live a more fulfilling life. You owe it to yourself to read this book.”
