Dr. Wayne Dwyer once said, “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This is the premise – and the promise – of simple mindset shifts. In an ADHD-infused relationship, both partners can benefit from shifting how they see each other’s foibles, how they respond to “triggering” behaviors and events, and so on – most of which are reflexive and built on past conditioning. In this interview, ADHD/productivity coach Alan P. Brown shares four simple mindset shifts that can reduce turbulence and bring more joy to your coupledom.

It’s easy to blame ADHD for disagreements in your relationship, like if you forget to do something you said

you would, but sometimes it isn’t actually about ADHD. For example, if you agree to something because you

don’t feel like you can say no. Or if your partner gets too worked up when you say that you aren’t able to do

what they’re asking of you. Or maybe you just don’t want to do it. Sure, ADHD can influence these situations,

but every couple has to negotiate differences in a way that both partners can feel good enough about.
