  Identity Rebuilding Focuses On:

• Reconnecting with your own interests, goals, and dreams that may have been overshadowed by relationship management

• The Importance of Your Own Healing

  Your wellbeing matters not just for your own sake, but for the health of your relationship. When you're emotionally regulated, boundaried, and connected to your own identity, you can show up as a true partner rather than a caretaker. This shift often creates positive changes in relationship dynamics that benefit both you and your ADHD partner.

ADHD Education and Normalization: We help both partners understand how ADHD neurobiologically affects relationship dynamics, reducing blame and increasing empathy for experiences that may have previously felt personal or intentional.

Strength-Based Perspective: Rather than focusing solely on problems, we identify and build on your relationship's existing strengths while addressing areas where ADHD creates challenges.

Practical Strategy Development: We provide concrete tools and systems for managing daily life together, from communication strategies to household organization approaches that work for your specific dynamic.

Emotional Regulation Skills: Both partners learn strategies for managing their own emotional responses and supporting each other through difficult moments, creating more stability and safety in your relationship.

Intimacy and Connection Building: We address how ADHD affects physical and emotional intimacy, helping couples develop approaches that honor both partners' needs and strengthen your bond.

When Your Partner Resists ADHD Support

You may find yourself in the particularly challenging position of recognizing ADHD's impact on your relationship while your partner minimizes, denies, or refuses to address these challenges. We provide specific support for partners navigating this difficult dynamic.

Support for This Situation Includes:

• Managing your own stress and emotional responses when your partner isn't addressing ADHD-related issues

• Learning what you can and cannot control in your relationship dynamic

• Developing strategies for protecting your wellbeing while your partner decides whether to seek support

• Processing the grief and frustration of wanting help that your partner may not want

• Building your own support system and coping strategies independent of your partner's choices

• Understanding when professional intervention or relationship evaluation might be necessary

Rebuilding Your Own Identity and Wellbeing

The Importance of Your Own Healing

Your wellbeing matters not just for your own sake, but for the health of your relationship. When you're emotionally regulated, boundaried, and connected to your own identity, you can show up as a true partner rather than a caretaker. This shift often creates positive changes in relationship dynamics that benefit both you and your ADHD partner.

You Deserve Support Too

Loving someone with ADHD requires unique emotional and practical skills that most people never need to develop. Your experiences, challenges, and needs are valid and deserve professional support. You don't have to carry these burdens alone, and seeking support for yourself isn't a betrayal of your partner—it's an investment in your own wellbeing and your relationship's health.

Substance Use/Abuse: Unmanaged ADHD often leads to self-medication through alcohol, cannabis, or other substances as individuals attempt to regulate their attention, emotions, or sleep patterns. This can create additional relationship stress, safety concerns, and complicated treatment needs that require specialized understanding of both ADHD and addiction dynamics.
