Relationships aren’t easy — especially with ADHD!
As a kid, I thought relationships were like what I saw in the movies—easy, romantic, and simply the best thing ever. But real relationships, especially when ADHD is part of the picture, are so much more complex. I love my husband dearly, but choosing to move toward him in a healthy, non-attacking way when I feel hurt, overwhelmed, or misunderstood takes everything in me. Pausing, calming myself, and then approaching him thoughtfully is hard work — but that effort has paid off time and time again.
You might feel frustrated in your relationship.
I get it — I’ve felt that too, and still do sometimes. First off: your feelings are completely valid. With ADHD in the mix, it’s common for emotional needs—both yours and your partner’s—to go unmet. So what do you do? Start by learning to validate your own feelings and work through the fears or overwhelm that often trigger unhelpful reactions. Then, learn how to offer that same validation and support to your partner. That may sound simple, but it takes practice and guidance. I’m here to teach you how to emotionally support yourself and your partner.
There’s real power in doing this work together.
When relating to someone else, it’s important to remember they aren’t you. They have their own needs, triggers, and experiences shaping who they are—especially with ADHD affecting both of you. What feels simple or obvious to you might be a trigger for your partner. Your task is to grow in awareness and develop tools to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively. That’s why I love couples therapy—it helps partners build understanding and communication skills together, during sessions and beyond.
Believe me, I’ve been there.
My husband and I sought couples therapy ourselves, and it made a huge difference. That’s why I’m so passionate about this work. I’ve walked this path and learned how to reconnect with myself and my partner.
And yes, connection is absolutely possible for you too!
