Mini Couples ep.3: Feeling Rejected

In these mini relationship episodes we'll explore common relationship conflict patterns that emerge with neurodivergent and neurotypical couples. These patterns are often more destructive when ADHD is either undiagnosed or not understood. In this episode we'll look at how Rejection Sensitivity can show up and create chaos. Or at the very least, cause hurt, misunderstandings and hyperviggilance (constantly scanning for threat). I'll share some simple (in theory) strategies to support you in working with these rejected feelings with minimal relationship rupture. I also refer to The Gottmans "Soft Start Up" strategy for bringing up topics and feeling with your partner. So if you find yourself easily hurt, walking on eggshells, worried your parter is upset with you, defending yourself when there is even a hint of (perceived) criticism, then this episode is for you.
