ADHD

ADHD can affect attention, memory, emotions and everyday responsibilities, but it rarely explains a relationship on its own. When these differences start to feel personal, couples can become caught in hurt and frustration. Understanding your particular pattern can create more choice, and therapy can help.

Sometimes a comment, disagreement or change in someone's behaviour can bring an emotional reaction that feels much bigger than the situation itself. Strong emotional reactions often make more sense when we understand what the moment means to us and what it may connect with from the past. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and find more choice in how you respond.

For some people with ADHD, alcohol can feel like a quick way to quieten an overwhelmed mind, ease anxiety or simply switch off for a while. Understanding alcohol myopia can help explain why drinking may feel helpful in the moment, while making it harder to see the bigger picture.
