ADHD in Relationships: Five Radical & Essential Tips
ADHD doesn’t just affect one person—it affects the entire relationship. In this episode, Gina Pera shares five radical yet essential perspectives that can dramatically improve how couples navigate ADHD-related challenges. These aren’t your typical therapy clichés or pop-psychology platitudes. They’re hard-won insights from decades of experience, research, and helping couples around the world.
You’ll learn:
- Why teamwork—not independence—is essential for ADHD relationship success
- How to stop blaming and start troubleshooting
- What “chicken-or-egg” dynamics could be sabotaging progress
- How physical ADHD-related issues (like sleep or coordination) may be silently eroding your connection
- Why self-education and self-advocacy can unlock lasting change—faster than you think
Whether you’re the partner with ADHD or the one without, these five tips can help you move from chaos to clarity—and start working together instead of falling apart.
