Description
ADHD affects relationships, more often in a negative way over time. Actually, that may be the primary negative impact of ADHD on the lives of persons whoΒ have it and their partners.
Join Relationship CoachΒ PhilΒ Boissiere, an Adult ADHD Specialist in the San Francisco area, and myself as we explore the uses of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in meeting the challenges of the impact of ADHD on relationships.
They discuss how ADHD impacts relationships through emotional dysregulation, executive dysfunction, and communication barriers. They emphasize that ADHD symptoms are often mislabeled as personality flaws, causing resentment. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), they suggest managing the βthought-feeling-behaviorβ cycle to improve responses to triggers.
The experts advocate for a combination of medication to address biochemical imbalances and CBT to build practical skills like time management and mindful communication.
Ultimately, they highlight that accepting the challenges and working together to learn proactive strategies can transform negative cycles into constructive connections between partners.
There is hope! Listen and learn!
