Leading Authority on ADHD and Adult Relationships

If you and/or your partner have ADHD or think you may, this episode of the Thriving Relationships Show is made for you and is going to be so, so helpful and powerful!

I had the great honor and delight of interviewing Melissa Orlov, one of the foremost authorities on the topic of how ADHD impacts adult relationships.

In this episode, we cover:

✨ How 80-90% of adults with ADHD don’t realize they have it

✨ Learn the most common symptoms of ADHD — beyond the hyperactivity most people think of.

✨ Common patterns couples fall into when one partner has ADHD

✨ What the non-ADHD partner does that causes more pain and exacerbates the challenges

✨ How you can be very successful with ADHD and how it is viewed

✨ Why, in 60 % of relationships when ADHD is present, it contributes to challenges in the relationship

✨ What to do if ADHD is resulting is a parent/child dynamic in your relationship

✨ How Gottman’s Trust Equation plays an important role in the ADHD shame cycle

✨ Why boundaries are a challenge and the importance of aligning our choices and actions to our deeply held values

✨ Negotiating the big issues in your relationship and the role anger plays

✨ If you recognize signs of ADHD in your partner, learn how to lovingly and effectively talk with them about a possible diagnosis

And so much more!

Thank you so much for being here and for your commitment to lifelong learning and growth — for the greater good of all!

I quickly realized how much value you had packed into the sessions, and you exceeded every expectation on every level. Our relationship has benefited, as has my relationship with our adult children and grandchildren. Bret and Christine have hearts of pure gold....and the love they extend into the world is having its effect and now we all can catch that beautiful energy and multiply it out even further. Your support of all of us is exceptional.

I love catching the contagious, authentic positivity and love that Bret and Christine give out. Christine and Bret really encourage us to find and celebrate the gifts we each have within us, so we can all emerge as our very different and amazing selves. We pick up so much misinformation from our upbringings, our education and our culture that we really need this... The tools I have learned have turned around decades of old patterns for me and my partner.
