MODERATORS
If you're working at it, then it should become more automatic - it should take less conscious effort to keep from doing things that are problematic.
It's a practice thing, just like learning other stuff. ADHD responds very well to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - where you essentially re-write the scripts we all operate by. But it takes time and practice - the repitition of substituting a new internal dialog for any given thought process/script.
To that end, 2 books may be helpful:
Adults and ADHD - this is good for seeing how it functions in adults VS kids.
Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne Dyer. Early "self help" book, but he's actually teaching Cognitive Behavioural Therapy without calling it that. Just showing how we use our internal dialog without thinking about it.
Thanks so much for recommending both books. I will be sure to give both a read soon.
Just make sure "soon" isn't the Adhd procrastination of doing it "one day", as these books can help you
Great! Hope they help!
I'll have a look at these ones, and I'll add my own on top: How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe, I found that one to be something worthwhile.
