The Neurodivergent Love Lab

A podcast for ADHD, autistic, and AuDHD adults navigating love, conflict, communication, and intimacy with brains that work a little differently. Hosted by registered provisional psychologist - Jenna Dalton - The Neurodivergent Love Lab gives you the tools traditional couples therapy never quite delivered. Because most relationship advice assumes things your brain has a tough time doing: like accessing feelings on demand, recovering from conflict in 20 minutes or less, and explaining yourself clearly while under pressure and in the moment. Your wonderfully unique brain has other plans. Each week I'll share the science behind being neurodivergent in a way that's easy to understand and give you practical tools for things like: 🧠  Conflict, shutdown, and repair 🧠  Rejection sensitivity and demand avoidance in relation to love 🧠  Dopamine and the unique challenges it can create for neurodivergent lovers 🧠  Masking exhaustion and the link to intimacy mismatches  🧠  Executive function meltdowns that can create moments of disconnection 🧠  Communication missteps that are common in mixed-neurotype relationships 🧠  And so very much more .... This is the podcast you wish you had found before you spent all that money on couples therapy. You didn't fail at couples therapy. Couples therapy failed to account for your neurology. Your brain isn't broken. You don't need fixing. Let's build a relationship user manual that actually works for your wiring. New episodes weekly. Cozy up in your burrow, take me on a walk, grab a fidget, plop yourself in front of your favourite doodle book.... However you like to listen,  welcome to the community.
