You are not alone. There are lots of couples where one or both partners have ADHD. If any of this sounds familiar to you or if you feel like you just can’t seem to make things work in your relationship, then you’ve come to right place.
This workbook does not contain a "magic wand" that will bring you instant answers without having to do any work. What I’m about to share with you takes both time and effort and has taken several of my clients from a state of frustration and feeling "stuck", to crystal clarity as to what they should do.
Let’s get real, ADHD is intense, it can wreck relationships and if you’re like most people, you probably have little or no experience on how to make your relationship work with ADHD, because living with ADHD is unlike anything you’ve probably ever experienced before.
Look, there a lot of books and materials out there about relationships and frankly there’s no shortage of advice on radio television and internet, but come on, let’s be honest, most of that advice is watered down and recycled thinking that frankly just doesn’t have any application to couples with ADHD.
I’m sure you’ve heard the comments like: “oh honey I’m sorry I just forgot” or “what’s the big deal?” or “why are you so upset?”.
Sometimes it can seem like it’s just easier to do everything yourself than to live so much chaos but you don't have to live this way forever. Many couples tried traditional therapy, pastoral counseling, coaching but still no improvement. The fact is these couples are miserable because they are using the wrong principles in their relationship. People with ADHD really do think and feel very differently from their non ADHD counterparts.
