“Overcoming the Wall of Awful is not only endlessly validating, but epically empowering. This book needs to be in the hands of everyone who has ever failed at anything.”
 
—Jessica McCabe, New York Times bestselling author of How to ADHD
 
The workbook companion to the groundbreaking, practical guide to accomplishing your goals and thriving in life, written for people with ADHD, autism, trauma and anxiety.
 
In OvercomingtheWallofAwful, Brendan Mahan drew on twenty years in teaching, counseling, and coaching people with anxiety, ADHD, autism, and trauma to distil his groundbreaking model that reveals how layers of shame, guilt, fear, and disappointment form invisible barriers that make even everyday tasks feel challenging. These “walls of awful” ultimately prevent us from initiating new tasks and doing the things we want to do—especially for anyone with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or trauma. Now in the form of a comprehensive workbook, Mahan shares prompts, activities, tips for emotional de-escalation, and interactive worksheets to help readers decrease feelings of shame and failure, to increase productivity, and diminish the stress and anxiety about completing tasks. More than a productivity guide, the Overcoming the Wall of Awful Workbook is a companion that truly helps readers embrace that there’s nothing wrong with them and shares actionable tips for overcoming their frustrations and paralysis.
