Description

By the time couples struggling with ADHD come to your office their relationship is a tangled mess.

Each partner blames the other and both feel powerless.

Your work is to help these couples re-balance desires, competing needs and find joy.

You can make it easier to help these clients confront their problems, and even get the skills to address “uncomfortable” topics, like sexual satisfaction.

Join Ari Tuckman, PsyD, CST, for an in-depth training that explores the most intimate parts of relationships impacted by ADHD. From Ari’s expertise you’ll walk away with a highly refined skill set including how to:

  • Balance the under/over-functioner dynamic
  • Help clients find sexual acceptance and enjoyment
  • Get couples to let go of the past & focus on the future
  • Help each client get their needs met – especially when they’re in opposition
  • Transform your couple’s troubled partnerships into happy, healthy and thriving relationships.
