Blogger Alice Sammon and her partner did an experiment to capture how effective some of my most popular communication methods might be for them. She reports their experiences (and success, I'm happy to say!) with verbal cues, learning conversations, good apologies and conflict intimacy in this post. She also adds some helpful tips about how they made sure both partners can use the strategies effectively. Curious? Go check out
Self-isolation is a hot topic at the moment, and may soon be required in parts of the U.S. So, here are some things you can do to stay sane (and hopefully healthy) during a pandemic self-isolation.
As you can see, we have updated the adhdmarriage.com website after a good long run of seven years for the old one. I want to publicly thank George for all his hard work - this was a huge undertaking as this site is now massive. There will probably be a few glitches, and if you see one, please report it. And, if you have a moment to thank George for his continued to support of this site, that would be great, too. He is the 'silent' partner in all this, but works hard behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. THANK YOU, GEORGE!
Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on what you are thankful for. This year, as I complete my second book, I am particularly aware of how grateful I am to be working with a community of people impacted by ADHD. There are so many seeking ways to love their partner more fully and working to make their lives better...truly it is a privilege. Thank you!
