Deep Dive Adhd Stop 5: Relationships

Hello!

Here’s the short version of this stop on the Deep Dive ADHD journey.

THE most important relationship is your relationship with yourself.

ADHD adds a lot of complexity to relationships, doesn’t it? 

RSD, imposter syndrome, and sometimes a “pervasive demand for autonomy” might jump on board. Not to mention the ways that ADHD symptoms like time management challenges, object impermanence, distractibility and disorganization can stress relationships with family, friends and colleagues. And what about emotional dysregulation?

Gosh, that’s a lot. 

And yet, I have found that ADHDers are so often warm, forgiving, generous people and delightful to be in relationship with. Strengths and challenges all in one. We are complicated aren’t we?

What is one to do? Or rather, how is one to BE? 

May I suggest that the same principal that we have been applying throughout this Deep Dive ADHD journey holds true? 

When we are sturdy in our self-worth, and attuned to our core Self, the ADHD challenges, including in relationships, are lighter to hold. We can advocate for what we need without shame and hold boundaries with more ease. We can take off the masks and be authentic in our relationships.

Accepting and loving yourself teaches people how to treat you. When you can laugh at your mistakes and love and accept yourself anyway, you teach others to love you and all your ADHD struggles too.

Navigating relationships successfully starts from your own strong center.

Are you ready to build a sturdy foundation? 

I’m offering a free workshop on November 12th. I hope you’ll join me!
