The ADHD Effect on Marriage

Adult ADHD – and responses to ADHD symptoms – can have a giant impact on primary relationships. Couples often develop predictable patterns that can be toxic and lead to chronic anger, frustration, defensiveness, disengagement, unwanted pursuit, and more. Joy evaporates in the struggle to address the issues. However, there is real hope! Once couples learn what’s going on they can make choices that lead them in a new direction and rediscover the love they thought they had lost.

Melissa Orlov, the leading expert in the field of how ADHD impacts relationships, will introduce you to the topic of The ADHD Effect on Marriage, and provide a path out of the relationship muck you are now wading through. She will also provide immediately actionable strategies for starting to turn your relationship around.

This workshop will take place over Zoom.
