Books that Changed How I work with Clients

"ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction"

"ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction"

Cover of ADHD 2.0

by Edward M Hallowell and John J Ratey


If you want a straightforward, realistic introduction to ADHD without getting overwhelmed, this is one of my favorites. Written by psychiatrists who not only treat ADHD but personally understand it, this book explains the ADHD brain in a way that is informative, practical, and easy to apply. I appreciate that it is short, to the point, and focused on helping people understand both the challenges and strengths that come with ADHD. Additionally, it offers effective ADHD strategies and feedback techniques, making it a valuable resource among psychology books. It also provides essential self-care resources and mental wellness handouts that can aid in managing ADHD effectively.

"Thanks for the the Feedback: The science and art of receiving feedback well"

"ADHD 2.0: New Science and Essential Strategies for Thriving with Distraction"

Cover of Thanks for the Feedback

by Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone


Most of us think we are good at receiving feedback techniques…until we actually receive it. This book explains why feedback can feel so personal, emotional, frustrating, or impossible to hear—even when it’s helpful for our mental wellness. Rather than focusing solely on work or relationships, the authors provide practical tools that apply across environments and interactions, including valuable ADHD strategies and self care resources that can enhance our overall well-being. These insights are a must-read for anyone interested in psychology books and effective communication.

"It's not you"

"It's not you"

Book cover of 'It's Not You' about healing from narcissistic abuse.

by Dr Ramani Durvasula


Dr. Durvasula presents the 'real experience' of narcissistic relationships, focusing on the non-narcissist perspective. We (the non-controlling people) spend all of our time trying to 'figure out why' they act that way, but no amount of 'why' is going to make it better. Through her psychology books and mental wellness handouts, Dr. Ramani's work empowers the reader with effective ADHD strategies and feedback techniques to navigate these challenges, providing essential self-care resources along the way.
