ADHD Therapeutic Coaching for Couples
Relationships in which one or both partners have (or think they have) ADHD can be as challenging as they are exciting, creative, humorous, and fulfilling. Rejection Sensitivity, challenges with emotional regulation (outbursts, irritability, and shutdown), confusion and frustration around how tasks are divided and completed (or not!), trouble with time management, and differing styles in how partners express themselves can all take a toll on the partnership.
Therapeutic Coaching for Couples aims to:
Support partners in communicating effectively with each other about their feelings and needs, especially around their different experiences with ADHD
Explore how partners can offer practical support to one another when overwhelmed
Increase each partner’s understanding of their own and each other’s responses to nervous system activation, rejection, criticism, and overwhelm
Decrease miscommunication, misunderstanding, and shutdown
Address how tasks in the household are divided and completed
Explore strategies for time management
Discuss how ADHD may impact parenting and explore strategies for parenting as a team
Using psychoeducation (education about how your nervous systems operate, how ADHD impacts different functions, and related topics), CBT tools, DBT tools, somatic (body and sensation-based) tools, and contemplative and yogic tools (as requested and appropriate), I will support you in deepening your understanding of yourselves and each other and building your relationship with intention and skill.
Ready to reconnect?
When ADHD is part of a relationship, frustration and misunderstanding can build up on both sides. Coaching helps you and your partner understand each other more deeply, communicate with less friction, and create shared systems that support your connection. Your free 30-minute consultation is a chance to talk through what’s happening and see whether working together feels right for you both. Coaching is available virtually, wherever you are.
