Could Neurodivergence Be Part of the Picture?

Most people don’t walk into therapy saying, “I think I’m neurodivergent.”
 What they usually say is, “I’m overwhelmed.”
 “I feel like I’m doing everything in this relationship.”
 “Something feels off, but I can’t explain it.”

If you’ve been feeling confused, frustrated, or just... alone in your relationship, this episode might give you a new way of looking at things.

In this first episode of her new series, Dr. Kathleen explores how neurodivergence can show up in adult relationships in ways that are easy to miss but hard to live with. Especially when no one has the language for what’s actually happening.

Maybe your partner shuts down when you try to talk. Maybe they miss emotional cues or seem distant when you need closeness. Maybe they’re brilliant at work but forgetful and rigid at home. Maybe you’ve told yourself they’re just wired differently, but never had the words for what that means.

This episode will help you start to name it.

Kathleen unpacks:

• What neurodivergence looks like in adults
• Why it often gets missed, especially in high-functioning people
• The subtle ways it shapes communication, connection, and conflict
• What loneliness can feel like when you’re still technically “together”
• How to stop taking everything so personally and start seeing the real pattern

 If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the emotional weight of your relationship, or if something just feels “off” but you can’t quite name it, this episode might give you a language for what you’ve been experiencing.
