Shadow Work for ADHD
A Practical Method for Understanding Hidden Patterns, Breaking Shame Cycles, Managing Emotional Triggers, Setting Healthy Boundaries, and Building Lasting Self-Trust
by MAY JAY
Living with ADHD can make emotional patterns, self-criticism, avoidance, impulsive reactions, and relationship struggles difficult to understand. Shadow Work for ADHD offers a practical, compassionate approach to exploring the thoughts, beliefs, and protective habits operating beneath everyday challenges. Through ADHD-aware reflection practices, you’ll learn to recognize shame cycles, understand emotional triggers, examine masking, strengthen boundaries, respond differently to rejection, and rebuild self-trust without judging yourself for every struggle. Rather than promising to treat ADHD, this book focuses on meaningful self-understanding and practical change, helping you separate difficult behaviors from identity and develop a healthier relationship with yourself.
