JMFT Webinar: Understanding the Experiences of Adults with ADHD in Intimate Relationships

This webinar will explore the challenges adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can experience in intimate, romantic relationships. A qualitative study of these experiences identified four themes. Too Much and Never Enough: The Emotional Rollercoaster of Rejection Sensitivity and The Struggle for Stability: ADHD's Battle Between Passion and Distraction, encapsulated the relational challenges individuals with ADHD face associated with their ADHD traits. Between Partner and Caregiver: The Emotional and Practical Strain in ADHD Relationships highlighted the sometimes‐unbalanced dynamic in relationships. From Chaos to Clarity: The Role of Self‐Understanding in Love explored the detriments of lacking self‐insight and the transformative impact of self‐awareness. Along with exploring these challenges in detail, an introduction to neuro-affirming support for adults with ADHD will be provided, particularly in the context of intimate relationships.
