Ck Therapy : Book recommendations

CK Therapy ; book recommendations
Unmasked by Ellie Middleton
The ultimate guide to ADHD , autism and neurodivergence.
““Society’s answer to an increase in diagnosis shouldn’t be ‘oh my god, everyone has ADHD and autism now.’ It should be ‘‘oh my god, how did we manage to let so many people down?’.”
More and more in the therapy room we are seeing clients often shyly asking “do you think I am neurodivergent?”. At CK therapy we cannot provide a diagnosis however we can work and help you in the process of exploring this in a safe, educated and compassionate way.
We highly recommend Ellie’s book for those on a self exploratory journey.
This book is brilliant in so many ways!
To name a few;
the book feels easily accessabile for neurodivergent people with the friendly layout and understanding of howreading might be affected.
We love the way it breaks down the diagnostic criteria we see in the DSM and breaks it down into what we’re told we should see it show up and how it often shows up.
It addresses important questions around privilege and stereotyping.
It highlights not one way for all!
Provides resources , understanding alongside personal accounts.
It aligns with our core value of showing compassion and kindness.
highlights exploration of a self or medical diagnosis. And the serious mental health impacts of both.
Some of our favourite quotes from the book;
“we are not damaged; we are disabled. We’re not broken; we’re different. We’re not bad people; we’re just misunderstood.”
“being neurodivergent makes me different - not less.”
“Adhd isn’t actually about a deficit in attention but instead a dysregulated attention system”
