Not Just Distracted

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just not “just distracted.”

Not Just Distracted: Understanding ADHD from the Inside Out is a compassionate, science-based guide written for anyone who's ever asked, "Why can't I just start?" or "Is something wrong with me?"

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Hiba Abudamous, PsyD, this book offers a gentle but powerful deep-dive into the lived experience of ADHD — not just as a list of symptoms, but as a different way of being.

Inside, you'll find:
✅ What ADHD actually feels like — emotionally and mentally
✅ The truth about dopamine, motivation, time blindness, and executive function
✅ Reframes that challenge shame, not you
✅ Practical tools + reflection prompts rooted in compassion
✅ A trauma-informed, shame-free approach that meets you where you are

Whether you're newly diagnosed, undiagnosed-but-curious, or someone who’s spent years feeling like "too much" and "not enough" all at once — this book is for you.

You’re not the problem. You just haven’t been understood. Until now.
