The Gap
Learning Objectives

Many couples therapists encounter ADHD-related dynamics:

Follow-through ruptures
Executive functioning breakdowns
Emotional dysregulation
Fairness conflicts

Yet most individual and couples therapists can benefit from more formal training in addressing ADHD within relational systems.

This training fills that gap.

Describe how ADHD-related executive functioning differences affect relationship dynamics, including communication, follow-through, and emotional regulation.

  1. Identify common relational patterns that emerge in couples where ADHD is present, including parent–child dynamics, task ownership conflicts, and recurring follow-through ruptures.

  2. Apply an ADHD-informed framework for case conceptualization in couples therapy.

  3. Differentiate ADHD-related relational challenges from other clinical presentations such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relational avoidance.

  4. Implement practical interventions that support communication, accountability, and task ownership for couples affected by ADHD.

  5. Utilize structured tools and systems that help couples externalize organization, planning, and responsibility.

  6. Recognize when referral for ADHD evaluation, medication consultation, or adjunct services may be clinically appropriate.

Learn specialty skills to level up your practice.
