About this event

Is my relationship impacted by Neurodiversity? If so, how and what next?

Welcome to our online event where Karen Doherty will explore how neurodivergence can affect relationships.

Karen will talk you through how to identify which ND traits impact your relationship and offer strategies for how to work with them.

Is it…..

  • Communication:- unclear messaging heard in multiple ways and often full of assumption.
  • Emotional deregulation - including RSD and its reactive responses
  • Executive function - the unequal mental load leaving one partner overloaded and resentful
  • Intimacy issues - both partners feeling lonely within the couple

We'll talk through strategies to improve the situation and there is a 45 mins Q& A for you to ask questions.

Testimonials

  • Very clear message supported by coherent and clean slides
  • Karen’s introduction about how ND impacts the communication was profound, made the difference between ND and NT very understandable. It also made the impact of ND on communication on the ND person very comprehensible.
  • Karen connected with the participants in a simple and warm way. She listened. It made me feel very safe and I had the impression this was the case for other participants.
  • Very good alternation between explanation and short storytelling.
  • Very good alternation between cognitive explanation and emotional understanding.
  • Grounded take on how to manage day to day life, really loved how Karen addressed several questions with humor, honesty and in a grounded way. This created emotional safety and cognitive understanding.
  • I feel hopeful take on the possibility to move from not understanding between NT and ND to creating a happy life together. It was good that Karen repeated that multiple times; that it is possible to change some dynamics.
