ADHD & Us Live Course
ADHD & Us Live Course
ADHD Relationships are amazing! There are so many great aspects that different brains bring to the relationship. However, without understanding how ADHD brains work and the sensory processing differences, ADHD relationships (ADHD or ADHD & non-ADHD) can run into some challenges around executive functioning (ability to get things done), communication and household management. This course combines online technology with live meetings to set up ADHD relationships for success!
Next group starts in September 6th!
This small virtual group combines fun, interactive coursework with live instruction and support. The course uses Anita’s ADHD & Us book with extra material and research that includes sensory processing differences. Topics include tools for communication, ADHD-friendly household management systems and boundaries. These three tools with the ADHD Relationship Pillars are the game changers that most ADHD relationships need. Plus live sessions that keeps partners engaged. If you loved the ADHD & Us book (or don’t want to read the book), this course will be perfect for you as it gives you all the tools plus time to practice! Even if you have all the knowledge, implementing it is the challenging part. This new platform is set up to give you reminders, make relationship building fun, and track progress using visual aids.

Who is it for:
Group is for individuals and/or partnerships who are in a relationship with someone who has (or suspected to have) ADHD. This group will give you support, knowledge and tools to navigate your relationship. If only one of you is able to join live sessions, not a problem! As long as one of you can join, you can share the knowledge you learned with your partner(s).
This group is most beneficial for those who are NOT in crisis or at the point of breaking up. The earlier you get the knowledge and support for an ADHD relationship, the easier it will be. Please contact me if you are uncertain if group will be a good fit for you. This course supports LGBTQ and non-traditional relationships.
Relationships benefit from being in a group setting where they relate to others and hear of the successes couples have when using the tools.
Typical areas of conflict a non-ADHD partner experiences with ADHD executive functioning differences:
Household responsibilities: wanting less clutter
Time challenges: running late, inaccurate guesses of how long things will take
Attention: feels like the other is distracted, interrupts them or doesn’t seem to listen
Details: Missing important details on date nights, picking kids up etc.
Finances: spending vs. saving
Parenting: Feeling like the mental load is unevenly split in who takes care of the details
Confusion: on why certain things are challenging for one person when they can do it in different environments
Defensiveness: feeling like you can’t bring up topics without a big reaction from your partner or being criticized
Attacked- feeling attacked, criticized or being blamed by their partner
Misunderstood- feeling like the other doesn’t understand their intentions

Bored- not enough spark & adventure in the relationship

What People Are Saying
“This (check-ins) can be a game-changer for many ADHD couples. For us, this structured check-in really helped us pave the way to better communication and develop empathy for each other. Once we became well-versed in the structured check-in…(it) provided us another breakthrough in our relationship—we actually started finishing conversations more often because we unlocked a critical step—we both felt heard in our conversations!”
— Alice from Life with an ADHD spouse

“We have been to a lot of couples counseling but this course has helped us the most because the tools work!”
“I was worried that it would be all about ADHD and not the non-ADHD partner. I felt really seen and supported. A couple of the tools have totally changed our relationship for the better.”
— K.M & J.M.
”This was a fantastic course! Absorbing (with videos), short & sweet coursework (the few bits I did) that appealed to the ADHD brain. I loved the group aspect. It was a great group of people. I loved doing a course with ADHD’ers as they were so engaged and truthful! I was so impressed with how Anita steered the ship with lightheartedness, wisdom and fun.”

FAQs

Awesome! I work with many ADHD couples. This course covers tips that work for ADHD couples too. As ADHD strengths vary from person to person, the live groups will be the place to get specific feedback on which tools would work for your combined strengths.
-
Life happens and it is ok to miss a live session once or twice. I would wait or the next group if you know one of can’t make over half of the sessions.
-
No. As long as one of you can make it, you will be able to share what you learned with your partner(s).
-
No. This course requires the capacity to learn new skills and practice them on your own. If it feels like a make or break if something doesn’t change immediately, I recommend couples intensives or an ADHD relationship therapist.

Group work is incredibly powerful and helps many individuals try new tools and systems because they are in it with others. You also build a wonderful community that can support you after the group ends. It is amazing how everyone relates to each other and finds it incredibly helpful in understanding themselves and their relationships.
