Mindfulness-based psychotherapy seems to be all the rage these days. And I get it, it is extremely helpful. But I also feel like it may be harder to complete when you have ADHD... I mean.. sitting still? meditating? having one thought only? I feel like you need a pre-course to mindfulness-based therapy on how to how to get mindful.

I know the books have suggestions and everything.. but that's likely tailored to the majority of the population who don't have ADHD. I have read some of Jon Kabat-Zinns books... and while I find they offer great advice, I find it really, really difficult to follow.

Does anyone have helpful tips or suggestions to follow through with this? Or any opinions on good psychotherapy for ADHD?

I'm already reading Driven to Distraction and I have Delivered from Distraction by Hallowell and Ratey. I haven't gotten yet to the part in the books where they actually give you like a step-by-step guide as to how to manage ADHD (I know you take medication, I have some, 18s of Concerta.. but I don't actually think they're working - if you wonder if a medication is working or not, I'm guessing that means it's not working.)

I have an asssignment due.. and would really just like to learn some strategies so that I can actually get this stupid honours thesis finally done and handed in by the deadline. Help??
