7. Stop Falling In Love With Me! (Part 1‪)‬ May We Have Your Inattention

    • Mental Health

Part 1 of our 2-part Valentine’s Day dating special - because of course you want dating advice from us. Right?

….Bueller?

Listen as we talk about dating and how ADHD affects relationships with others.

Highlights of Episode Seven:


teenage dating angst

Trauma bonding: what is it, and why do we subconsciously seek out repeating patterns?

Lack of chemistry with “healthy” people, and how do we learn to become attracted to what is healthy for us vs. what our brains subconsciously gravitate towards.

How do we ask for what we need in relationships in a healthy way? We talk about struggling to have our needs met and how to make healthier bids towards our partners or loved ones.

Attachment styles: we briefly go over attachment styles and how they influence relationships with others.

Our experience with dating apps, dating during COVID, and dating people with differing political views.

How ADHD impacts our ability to communicate effectively and using verbal communication.

Setting boundaries and learning how to assert ourselves, and how to develop safety within ourselves and feeling safe to express boundaries with others; getting receipts that say something different so you have a history of different behaviors to feel safe moving forward.
