Synopsis

[The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD] is Hands down the best book for couples dealing with ADHD. No other book comes even close to providing a balance of the positives, negatives and all that is between: 'Thrive' provides both inspiration and concrete strategies for couples learning to find joy again after years of struggling with ADHD. I love this book! - Bryan Hutchinson, Author of 7 Crucial Tips for Parents and Teachers of Children with ADHD More and more often, adults are realizing that the reason they are struggling so much in their relationship is that they are impacted by previously undiagnosed adult ADHD. Learning how to interact around ADHD symptoms is often the difference between joy together and chronic anger and frustration. So The Couple’s Guide to Thriving with ADHD lays out the most important strategies couples can use – right now – to rebuild trust, fight less, disagree more productively, get the attention they deserve, and rebuild intimacy in their relationship. These are strategies honed over years of working specifically with couples impacted by ADHD, and demonstrated to change lives for the better. ‘Thrive’ is the go-to book for couples struggling with ADHD who want to actively work to improve their relationship. Melissa Orlov is a marriage consultant who helps ADHD-affected couples and also teaches marriage counselors and other professionals about effective marriage therapy for couples impacted by ADHD, Nancie Kohlenberger, LMFT, is a psychotherapist and an ADHD adult relationship coach. Combining many years of experience between them, The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD helps couples move away from their negative emotions and interactions to create a calmer, more loving partnership. Organized into 21 common emotional Hot Spots, 'Thrive' shows you how to diminish frustration, optimize treatment, revive intimacy, utilize communication skills, and improve partner reliability. This audiobook is skillfully read by Sarah Zimmerman, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Sam Platt.
