Back From Burnout: The ADHD & AuDHD Recovery Programme

Still delivering. Quietly running on empty.

A self-paced recovery programme for adults with ADHD or AuDHD who look fine from the outside and cannot keep doing it like this. Made by an ADHD coach who has worked with exactly this since 2000.

There is also a with-coaching version: the same programme plus three coaching sessions with me on Zoom. See both options further down the page.

Or read on, and I will show you exactly what is inside.

Do any of these sound familiar?

• You are still performing at work, and it costs more every month
• Only deadline panic produces work now, and even that is getting unreliable
• The weekend stopped refilling you a long time ago
• You are avoiding messages, email or the post
• Starting anything takes several run-ups
• You keep being told to rest, and rest does not seem to work on you
• Underneath all of it, you are wondering if you are becoming lazy or incapable

You are not lazy, and you are not incapable. There is a much better explanation.

It is not a character problem

Burnout in ADHD and AuDHD adults is not a character problem. It is a capacity problem, and it has a shape: high expectations, overcommitment, private extra effort, urgency as fuel, no real recovery, falling behind, shame, an even bigger push, collapse. I call it the Overdrive Loop, and this programme maps yours, station by station, then walks you out of it.

Trying harder is not the answer, because trying harder is the engine of the problem. What works is seeing the whole load clearly, putting real pressure down, rebuilding capacity at a survivable pace, and changing the way work and life land on you. That is what this programme does, in that order.

What Back From Burnout is

Back From Burnout is a self-paced online programme: nine modules in four phases, delivered as short lessons you move through at your own speed. There are no day numbers, nothing is drip-fed, and nothing inside is locked to dates, because a recovery programme should never hand you a new deadline.

It opens with a rescue section, If Today Is Too Much, for the days when reading a programme is beyond you. The teaching waits until you have something in the tank.

And it is built to be used, not read. You finish with completed tools, not highlighted paragraphs: your own Burnout Load Audit with a decision against every heavy thing, your Minimum Viable Day for the bad days, your early warning signs on a card, and your personal Recovery Roadmap, which comes back to you as your own designed PDF, in your words, to keep and print.

If you took my burnout check

If you arrived here from my free burnout self-test, this is the deep end of that pool. The quiz showed you the picture. This programme is what to do about it, and it speaks the same language your results did.

What becomes possible

Not a personality transplant. Something better: your actual life, costing less to run. It can look like:

• Knowing exactly what to do on a bad day, because the plan already exists
• A workload that has been audited, negotiated and resized, not just endured
• The exact words for your manager, your clients or your family, ready to adapt
• Rest that actually restores you, rebuilt as a skill rather than a hope
• Warning signs you catch a season early, instead of a collapse you explain afterwards

What is inside

• Phase 1, See It Clearly: recognising ADHD and AuDHD burnout, mapping your own Overdrive Loop, and the full twenty-area Burnout Load Audit
• Phase 2, Steady: real pressure off now, the 72-Hour Steady Plan, and your Minimum Viable Day
• Phase 3, Rebuild: capacity-based planning, honest rest (including what to do about scrolling), work and business changes, boundaries and masking, with ten ready-to-adapt scripts for the difficult conversations
• Phase 4, Redesign: ceilings, routines that survive bad weeks, your Warning-Sign Dashboard, and your complete Recovery Roadmap

Plus: three interactive tools that save your answers to your account, twenty-two printable sheets including the full Tools Pack, and the complete programme as a designed print edition to keep.

What it sounds like

From Module 1, so you can hear the tone before you buy:

“Read that list again, slowly, and notice what it means. None of this is your character. It is capacity. These are the ordinary mechanics of an expensive-to-run brain meeting a long-running overload, and every one of them eases as capacity returns.”

Being honest with you

This is education and coaching in written form. It is not therapy or medical treatment, it cannot diagnose anything, and persistent exhaustion has other possible causes that deserve a GP’s attention, which the programme itself will tell you about in its first pages. It does not promise you will feel better by a date. If you are in crisis right now, a programme is not the right first step: Samaritans are on 116 123, free, any hour.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to be here. Diagnosed, waiting for assessment, or self-identifying: if the pattern fits, you are welcome.

Frequently asked questions

Click on a question to reveal the answer.

How long do I have access?

A full year from the day you buy, and everything is downloadable to keep, so your tools, your roadmap and the print edition stay yours. There are no deadlines inside the programme, and nothing is drip-fed.

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?

No. Diagnosed, waiting for an assessment, or self-identifying, you are equally welcome, and the programme is written for AuDHD readers as much as ADHD ones.

Is this therapy?

No. It is a coaching-style educational programme. It is private, it creates no clinical record, nobody is contacted about you, and what you do with it is entirely your own business. It is not a substitute for medical or mental-health care, and its first pages help you decide whether a GP visit belongs in your plan.

How much time does it take?

Most people take somewhere between a fortnight and two months, in short sittings, and slower is fine. It is deliberately built for a tired brain: short lessons, clear stopping points, and a rescue section for the days when everything is too much.

What is different in the with-coaching version?

Three private sessions with me, placed around the parts of the programme where an outside eye helps most. You book them at your own pace within six months. Places are limited each month, so if it shows as unavailable, it will return.

Can my employer or HR pay for this?

Yes, and it happens often. They can pay by card at checkout, entering your own name and email so the programme is yours from day one. Or, if your company needs an invoice and bank transfer, ask them to email me at linda@theadultadhdcoach.com and I will arrange it.

What if I am really not coping?

Then please put the programme second. Samaritans are on 116 123, free, any hour, whatever you are going through, and your GP is the right person for exhaustion that will not lift. The programme will still be here when steadier days come.

From me to you

I have coached adults with ADHD since 2000, and I have been the person this programme is written for. You were never the problem. The load was, and it can change.
