Saving your Love relationship when one or both have suspected ADHD why educating, empathy and praise are key
Creating a safe relationship is vitally important when ADHD is added to the mix of romantic partnerships. Often couples have not realized that there are reasons for certain habits, behavior, and ongoing problems that have been exacerbated by ADHD.
ADHD brains need praise acceptance and empathy. The years of constant criticism take their toll, but for the non-ADHD partner to understand this and then be able to give praise for the smallest attempt at changing habits like picking the socks off the floor can have such huge positive effects. These small, seemingly unimportant changes create an environment of safety support and warmth and couples can really begin to thrive.
When the ADHD partner can also begin to look at their lifelong behaviors and actions and emotions and now attribute many of them to ADHD, they can also begin to see how they work together with their partner to create this warm loving relationship again.
