Two articles live here right now. I’d rather tell you that than pad the shelf.
The first takes apart the most common ADHD myths, including the one where ADHD is “just not trying hard enough,” which has done more damage in more living rooms than almost any other sentence. The second is about why small tasks become big fights when one partner has ADHD: the dishes aren’t about the dishes, and the fight isn’t really about effort.
These are for teens and adults with ADHD, people who suspect they might have it, and the partners and parents trying to understand why the same reminder hasn’t worked eleven times. (Spoiler: it’s not going to work the twelfth time either. The articles explain what does.)
Jenny Staats, LMSW, leads our ADHD work with teens and adults, including the overlap with anxiety and EMDR. If you want help with the patterns in your own house, start with ADHD therapy for teens and adults in Indianapolis.
