    35. Invisible Control in Your Neurodiverse Relationship

    www.lovingdifference.net ♟️Are you playing an invisible game of chess in your neurodiverse relationship? Are you open to the possibility that you may be unintentionally controlling yourself, situations, issues, outcomes, other people? As I took a different path to resolve the hamster wheel of issues in my neurodiverse relationship/family I realised I was. Initially I was shocked and ashamed. I didn't think I was that kind of person. I didn't want to be that kind of person. I saw how others controlled or appeared to control me or how they did it with others but I'd never looked at myself! It was a big thing to admit and an even bigger thing to decide to do something about. I thought it would mean giving up on what I'd longed for or needed or what I thought others should be doing or who I thought I had to be or should be to fit in and feel secure and be liked and all that kind of thing.. I know we all have our own versions of these! Turns out there are different, better and much healthier ways for ALL of this. When we say to members that we don't use compromise or ultimatums they don't believe us!... that's because we've learned, been taught and believe and live in a culture where they are required or the only way to sort the big stuff out. Turns out that's not true 🤯 ... another myth busted! If you notice you are, we're celebrating with you. No shame, only compassion. You can do something about it! These are all such helpful clues to bring into some coaching support.. that you can put together with learning some new ways to handle the same situations, the same people differently WITHOUT letting go of your hopes and dreams, for you, them and situations you're in.

    www.lovingdifference.net If you're here, you're likely experiencing Trigger Dominoes in your neurodiverse relationship, a catalogue of triggers on a daily basis for many years, resulting in unhappiness, disconnection and exhaustion.

    33. Guests on Neurodiverse Christian Marriage Podcast

    www.lovingdifference.net In this episode we're in conversation with Dr Stephanie Holmes from Neurodiverse Christian Marriages, answering questions from her listeners. Natalie and I share our perspectives and, of course, try to bust some myths that we think are stereotypical, unhelpful and untrue! We cover why it's highly problematic to tell another person that they may be neurodivergent and we also ask a question about what else other than neurodiversity may be contributing to relationship issues.  We hope that you enjoy listening. We'd love you to takeaway the message that there is so much more hope and possibility ahead than the 'everything is fixed and nothing can change' stereotypical messages that we found at the beginning of our journey and which left us feeling hopeless and stuck.  ⭐️ You can change your experience without having to get someone else somewhere. There is a way forward when your partner is unable or not interested in discovering more or going to couples counselling.  ⭐️ You can reverse the impact of unknown neurodiversity and recover from the persistent stress and BE YOU again.   ⭐️ The truth that we've found is that there is hope and a way forward. The Loving Difference Relationship System supports you to create more choices and more possibility in your neurodiverse relationship.  If you'd prefer to listen to a short summary of this conversation, you can find it on YouTube at this link https://youtu.be/HQqD11rhrsE With thanks to Stephanie Holmes for hosting this conversation and for giving us permission to publish this recording on our podcast.
