Nearly four decades of teaching this · 500+ students

Walk in with a decision you are stuck on. Walk out with it made.

With DrB asking you the next question the whole way through.

Bring the decision that has been open since August. The Decision Room takes it through the seven step method DrB has taught inside her programs for over a decade, one step per page, and you leave with the decision made, written down, and dated.

No guessing at what comes next. Every step opens by telling you why it matters before it asks you for anything, in DrB's own words, and a question box trained on forty years of her teaching is there for the moment something will not move.

Why this matters

A decision feels impossible when you have not said out loud what it has to deliver. Name the conditions and the options sort themselves.

What does this decision have to give you?

One of the seven step pages

Start here

Nobody looking at you would guess this is hard for you.

That is the part that makes it lonely. You handle other people's decisions all day. Then you sit down with your own and something in you goes quiet.

  • You can argue every side of it brilliantly, which is exactly why you cannot land on one.
  • You have researched it well past the point where more information was going to help.
  • The decision has been made three times in your head and never once on paper.
  • Other people come to you for clarity, and you are quietly embarrassed that you cannot give yourself any.
  • Some version of this has been true for years, and you have started to wonder whether it is just how you are built.

What you are looking at is a skill nobody sat you down and taught. You have been compensating for the gap with raw intelligence for so long that the compensating has started to cost more than the decision itself would.

The part nobody told you

It was never you.

You have been called disorganized. Scattered. Someone who is not applying themselves. Perhaps the worst version, the one that arrives dressed as a compliment: somebody this smart should have this handled by now.

Every one of those explanations sits on top of something far more ordinary. Decision making is an executive function skill. It is taught nowhere. You were expected to arrive with it already installed, and then judged quietly, by yourself most of all, for not having it.

I have spent close to forty years with bright people who could describe exactly what they should be doing and could not get themselves to do it. The skill was underdeveloped. That is the whole of it.

Underdeveloped means it can be developed. That has been true for every single person I have taught it to, and it is true at sixty as reliably as it is at thirty.

What it is costing

The decision is not the hard part. Staying undecided is.

Getting it wrong has a price you can see. Leaving it open has one you cannot, which is why it keeps getting paid.

It runs in the backgroundAn open decision takes working memory everywhere you go. You are tired by noon and cannot point to anything you did.
It spreadsEverything downstream waits on this one. Your calendar fills with the things that were easier to decide.
It turns into evidenceWeeks of not choosing stop being about the decision and start being about you. That is the part that actually hurts.

Here is the arithmetic nobody does. You have spent more hours thinking about this decision in the past month than it would take to work it all the way through, properly, from start to finish. The thinking has felt like progress because it is effortful. Effort and progress are different things.

What this actually is

You will be working on your own. You will not be working without me.

There is no video course here and nothing to watch. I am not going to hand you another framework to file away with the others, and information was never your problem anyway. You have consumed plenty of information.

What has been missing is somebody asking you the right question at the right moment, which is the thing a book cannot do and a worksheet pretends to do.

So I built the room to do it. Every step opens with why it matters in my words, before it asks you for anything. Every prompt is the one I would put to you at that exact point if you were sitting across from me. When something will not move, the question box answers in my manner of explaining things, built on my teaching material.

You work at your own pace, at whatever hour suits you, with the method and the questions alongside you the entire way through.

Bright, gifted people want to know what is in it for them. Why should they do it? Why should they log in? DrB

I built every step in this room to answer that before it asks you for a single word. You read why the step gets you closer to what you want, and then you do it.

Nothing arrives as an instruction you are expected to follow on faith. You have had quite enough of those.

The method

Seven steps, each on its own page

One page at a time, so there is only ever one thing in front of you.

Before you start. Write the decision down, and claim your values. Writing it down is the setup rather than a step, and it is where a surprising number of people discover the decision was not quite the one they thought they were making.
  1. Claim your valuesWhat actually matters to you, including the values your hours currently go to whether you chose them or not.
  2. Identify your criteriaWhat this decision has to deliver before it counts as a good one.
  3. Target your desired outcomeThe specific result you want, said plainly enough to aim at.
  4. Calculate your time frameWhen this needs to be decided, and when it needs to be done.
  5. Weigh the impact on you and othersWho is affected, and what you are genuinely willing to carry.
  6. Prioritize the right informationWhat you actually need to know, separated from what you keep collecting to delay the moment.
  7. Choose a course of action and commit to itThe choice, in writing, with the first move and the date you will make it.

Start with a decision that is a one or a two rather than a ten. This is practice. Save the big one for when the method feels familiar, and it will be ready for you when that day arrives, because it always does.

Everything inside

Everything You Get Inside The Decision Room

Every page here exists because my students kept getting stuck in the same places, year after year.

DrB, with you the whole way

Ask DrB A Question

A question box trained on my teaching material and my way of explaining things. Use it mid step, when you know something is stuck and cannot name what.Answers are generated by an AI built on my material rather than written by me personally. The FAQ explains exactly where that line sits.

Why Before What

Every single step opens by telling you why it matters and what it moves, in my words, before it asks you for anything. Nothing here arrives as an instruction you are expected to take on faith.

The Questions I Would Ask You

Each prompt is the one I would put to you at that exact point in the process. Forty years of asking bright people the question that actually unlocks the step, built into the page.

Which Skills This One Needs

Every decision leans on particular executive function skills out of the thirteen. This page names the ones yours is asking for, so you can see what to strengthen rather than guessing at it.

The method itself

Seven Steps, One Page Each

The complete method, broken so there is only ever one thing in front of you. Nothing to scroll through and nothing to choose between. You open the page and answer what it asks.

The Setup Page

Write the decision down before step one. This page alone sends a good number of people back to rewrite the decision, because what they typed was not the one they were actually making.

Your Values Library

A full values exercise with the unflattering ones included. Scrolling, numbing out and keeping the peace are values too, because a current value is whatever your hours actually go to. People find this page uncomfortable and then quote it back to me for years.

Commitment With A Date

Step seven will not let you finish on a vague intention. The choice goes down in writing with the first move attached and the date you will make it.

For when you get stuck

Outdated Identities

An identity is an I am. When a decision will not move, an old I am is often holding it in place, and that I am is usually years past being true about you.

Limiting Beliefs

A belief is something you treat as fact that is full of holes. This page helps you find the holes. Most of them turn out to be large.

Decision Making

The first of the three pre-skills, for the moment you realize the decision is not the blocker and the deciding is.

Procrastination

The three symptoms, and what each one is actually telling you. For the decision you have made and still have not acted on.

Time And Self Management

The third pre-skill, for the decision that keeps losing to everything else in the day.

When Decisions Pile Up

For the weeks when it is not one decision. A way to batch them so they stop competing for the same attention and draining all of it.

What you keep

My Decision On Paper

Every finished decision produces one page carrying your words, your values and criteria, your outcome, your time frame, the skills it leaned on, and your commitment with its date. Save it, print it, or send it to the person who has been waiting on your answer.

Decisions You Have Made

A running list of every decision you have worked through, with whether you kept your word on it. Your track record, where you can actually see it.

Celebrate Your Wins

Somewhere to record what you decided and what came of it. Bright people forget their own evidence remarkably fast, and then wonder why nothing feels like it is working.

Your Progress At A Glance

Decisions made, commitments kept, wins recorded and skills practiced, counted on the home page. Evidence that accumulates whether or not you feel it accumulating.

How it works for you

Auto-Saves As You Type

Never lose your work. Your answers save as you write them, so you can stop in the middle of step four, go to a meeting, and come back to exactly where you were.

Your Own Licensed Copy

You sign in with your name and the room is yours, marked with your licence throughout. Nobody else is in here, and nothing you write is visible to anyone.

Private By Default

What you write stays on your own device. I do not receive any of it unless you choose to send it to me, which matters when the decision is one you have not told anybody about yet.

Any Device, Nothing To Install

Opens in a browser on a laptop, a tablet or a phone. Nothing to download and nothing to set up. Sign in and begin.

Unlimited Decisions

Come back as often as you need, for years. The method gets faster every time you use it, and what it eventually builds in you is a way of thinking that runs without the room.

Improvements Included

Everything I add or improve reaches your licence at no extra cost. You bought the room, not one version of it.

Honest fit

Who this room is for

I would rather you know now than find out after you have paid me.

This is for you if

  • You are capable, people rely on you, and a decision of your own has been open far too long.
  • You have read enough and thought enough, and what you need is a sequence to put it through.
  • You would rather work privately, at your own pace, without a group or a call in the diary.
  • You want the same structure sitting there for the next decision, and the one after that.
  • You are willing to write your answers down rather than keep doing this in your head, where it has not worked yet.

This is not for you if

  • You want somebody to tell you which option to pick. The method helps you choose well, and the choice stays yours.
  • You are looking for therapy or clinical support. This room is educational, and section three of the terms explains exactly where that line sits.
  • You want to be taught all thirteen executive function skills from the beginning. That happens inside my programs.
  • You want to use it with clients or students. One licence covers one person, and group use needs a separate arrangement with me.
  • You are in the middle of something urgent and heavy right now. Please bring that to a person rather than to a tool.

DrB

  • Doctorate in counseling psychology.
  • Nearly four decades working with executive function skills.
  • Thirty years as a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, a licence that lapsed in June 2025.
  • Published author, with the chapter on Sexuality for Women with ADHD in Understanding Women With AD/HD.
  • Chair of the professional advisory board of CHADD, across two chapters, for fourteen years.
  • Host of Living Beyond ADHD, with more than sixty thousand downloads and listeners in fifty-four countries.
  • Roughly five hundred students through her programs since 2018.

I spent the first half of my life looking, from the outside, like a woman who had it together, and feeling like an underachiever the entire time. It took me fifteen years to finish a four year degree. Capability was never the issue. I refused to fake my way through, and nobody would tell me what question I was actually supposed to be answering.

At fifty-two, every coping strategy I had quietly built over decades stopped working, more or less overnight. For the first time in my adult life I could not hide it. That was the year I stopped managing the outside and went back for the skills underneath.

I taught myself research methodology from nothing after that. I spent six years on two international medication trials. I trained to read qEEGs. All of it came after the collapse, and all of it was built on the same seven steps that are in this room, because they were how I decided anything at all during the years when deciding was hardest.

Those steps have been taught inside my programs for over a decade, to roughly five hundred people. This is the first time I have handed them over as a room you can walk into on your own, as often as you need, without waiting for a call or a cohort.

You are the meaning maker in your life. Nothing has any meaning except the meaning you give it. That includes the decision you have been carrying around all month.

About the price

Why it is ten thousand dollars

A fair question, and it has a short answer in two halves.

The first half is that you buy this once. There is no renewal, no expiry, and no program term attached to it. Every decision you face from here, for as long as you are facing them, gets worked in this room. At forty, that is a long time. At sixty, it is still a long time.

The second half is privacy. The people I built this for are professionals who look entirely capable in public and have nowhere private to think. A community forum is not where they are going to post a decision, and a group call is not where they are going to raise one. They need somewhere to work it through properly, where nobody has to be the wiser.

So it is priced as what it is. A permanent, private place to make every decision you have left to make, built on the method I have taught for over a decade.

If that is more than you want to put into one tool, I would far rather you know it now and spend the money where it serves you better. The honest answer is that this is not built for everybody.

What the ten thousand buys

The Decision Room, complete, exactly as described on this page.

  • Lifetime access, with nothing to renew.
  • Unlimited decisions, for as long as you have decisions.
  • Every improvement I make, included.
  • Your own private licence, used by you alone.

What is sold separately

These live inside my programs and are not part of this purchase.

  • Get Sh*t Done, the nine month program.
  • GSD Private.
  • The GSD community forum.
  • The full trainings and handouts for the thirteen skills.
  • Live time with me, of any kind.

Buying the room enrolls you in nothing, and enrolling in a program does not include the room. They are two separate things, and you can have either one without the other.

Before you decide

Questions people ask

How long does one decision take?

Your first one usually runs between forty minutes and an hour and a half, because the setup and the values exercise are new to you. After that, most people work a decision through in twenty to thirty minutes. Stop anywhere you like and come back. Your answers will be where you left them.

Am I really getting DrB, or just a tool?

You are getting my method, my questions and my voice, available at whatever hour you need them. Every step explains itself in my words, every prompt is the one I would ask you at that point, and the question box answers in my manner of explaining things.

What you are not getting on this page is my calendar. Calls, the forum and my personal review of your work all live inside my programs, and I would rather tell you that plainly here than have you find out later.

Who answers when I use the question box?

An AI system that has been given my teaching material and my way of explaining things. Those replies are not written by me personally and I do not check them before you see them, so treat them as a prompt for your own thinking rather than a verdict. For an answer from me directly, that happens inside my programs. Please leave medical details and account information out of the box, because your question passes to a third party service to generate the reply.

Is there a payment plan?

No. This one is paid in full, and that is the only way I sell it. The price stays where it is because of that.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment and the room is yours for the rest of your life. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and there is no second invoice coming.

Does this include GSD, or any of your programs?

No, and I want that very clear before you buy. The ten thousand buys The Decision Room and nothing else.

Get Sh*t Done, GSD Private, the community forum, the full trainings and handouts, and any live time with me are separate purchases on separate terms. Buying the room enrolls you in nothing, and enrolling in a program does not include the room.

I am already a student in GSD or GSD Private.

Then write to me before you buy anything on this page. There is a different arrangement for students already inside my programs, and I would rather sort it out with you directly than have you pay the public price.

Do I need to be in one of your programs?

No. The Decision Room stands on its own and nothing in it requires enrollment anywhere. A few pages point out to the full trainings and handouts, and those live inside the programs, so you will be asked to sign in for those. Everything the method itself needs is already in the room.

Is this the same as GSD?

No. GSD is nine months, covering all three pre-skills and all thirteen executive function skills, with the forum and live access to me. The Decision Room is one method, delivered as a tool, for every decision you have left to make. Some people hold both. Many hold only one, and that is a perfectly sensible way to do it.

I came from the masterclass. Is this the same thing?

The masterclass is where I explain why capable people keep hitting the same wall. This room is one of the skills from underneath that wall, built so you can actually use it on a Tuesday afternoon. Different purpose entirely, same foundation.

Where is my work saved?

In your own browser on your own device, automatically, as you type. I do not receive any of it unless you choose to send it to me.

Two things follow from that, and I would rather you hear them now. Signing in from a different computer shows you an empty copy, and clearing your browser data erases your answers with no way for me to bring them back. Export My Decision on Paper for anything you want to keep permanently.

Can my spouse use it too?

One licence covers one named person, and your copy carries your name throughout. You are very welcome to show them your finished page and talk the whole decision through together. For both of you to work your own decisions in the room, you each need a licence. For a team, a class or a practice, write to me and we will sort something out.

Is this therapy?

No. Nothing in The Decision Room is therapy, diagnosis or medical advice, and using it does not make me your therapist. I hold a doctorate in counseling psychology and worked as a licensed marriage and family therapist for thirty years. That licence lapsed in June 2025 and I do not practice therapy. If something heavier surfaces while you are in here, please bring it to a licensed professional or to somebody you trust.

What if it is not right for me?

CONFIRM-REFUND: this must match the guarantee and refund terms in DrB's signed Jotform terms and conditions, which already cover the Asset. Draft wording: write to me within fourteen days and show me the work. Complete the values exercise and the first three steps on one real decision, send me the export, and I will refund you in full.

How long do I have access?

For life. That is the whole point of the price, and it is not limited to the term of any program.

One practical note so there are no surprises. If I ever retire the room, licence holders get at least sixty days notice by email, with time to export everything you want to keep. The terms set that out in full.

What do I need to use it?

A current browser and an internet connection. Nothing to install and nothing to download. It works on a phone, and the writing is easier on a laptop or a tablet.

What if I buy it and never use it?

Then you will have done what you have done with the last four things you bought, and I would rather save you the money. Here is the honest test. Pick the decision now, before you buy. If you cannot name it in one sentence, the room is not the thing you need today. Name it, feel your chest tighten slightly as you do, and that is the one to bring in.

The decision is still waiting

It will keep waiting, and it will keep costing you the same quiet amount every week, and in March you will still be explaining it to somebody over coffee.

Forty minutes in this room is less than you have already spent thinking about it this month.
