Description
Not every uncomfortable experience requires a diagnosis.
If you’re tired of spinning in the vortex of self-analysis—labeling every psychological wound and emotional struggle as a symptom of a larger mental health issue—this book is for you.
In You Don’t Have ADHD, clinical psychologist Dr. Isabelle Morley tackles the growing phenomenon of (often inaccurate) self-diagnoses that people are making their whole identity.
It can feel so validating to have a clinical “answer” to explain your difficulties, but the truth is, sometimes being a person is just hard—and messy.
As an expert on therapy speak, Dr. Morley explains why this trend developed, why you should stop over-relying on “clinical” explanations and checklists outside the therapy room, and how to accept (and grow from!) the harder parts of being human instead of trying to diagnose them away.
Through her empathic but direct approach, Dr. Morley will help you get unstuck from the web of internal scrutiny and get back into living a full, complex, wonderful life.
