Listener Questions: Building Relationships and Self-Acceptance

This week we’re going to be discussing the challenges of managing ADHD within a relationship where both partners have ADHD and how that can lead to the amplification of symptoms and the struggle to maintain routines and tools.

We’ll also be diving into the potential difficulties of managing ADHD later in life but also how we can lean into the strengths that we have already developed.

This Episode's Top Tips

  1. In relationships, clear communication is key, and it’s important to foster accountability while making sure that you are also staying out of judgment.

  2. Find a balance between structure and flexibility in daily routines, and make sure you’re creating room for accepting your ADHD (and your partners).

  3. When examining your previously created coping strategies, be sure to explore how you developed them and figure out if they are still helping you or if they need to be adjusted.
