Do you ever feel stuck in cycles of miscommunication, emotional overwhelm, or shutdown when trying to connect?

Do you find it difficult to share your own feelings or know how to respond when someone shares theirs? Many of these challenges are common in neurodivergent relationships and can be especially difficult when catastrophizing, shame spirals, or rejection sensitivity take over.

This workshop will give you practical tools for navigating these dynamics with clarity, compassion, and collaboration to support autistic and ADHD individuals and their partners in building more resilient, fulfilling relationships. Whether you’re currently partnered or preparing for future relationships, you’ll leave with actionable tools to reduce conflict, deepen trust, and honor the unique ways your brains work best together.

This workshop is part of a three-part series. We also invite you to join Neurodiverse Relating & Executive Function and Neurodiverse Pleasure & Sexual Intimacy.

In this experiential workshop, you will:

  • Ways core neurodivergent experiences, including alexithymia, decision fatigue, sensory overload, burnout, and masking can affect intimacy and trust

  • How to recognize and interrupt patterns like catastrophizing, shame spirals, and rejection sensitivity before they escalate

  • Practical skills to feel rather than overanalyze emotions in an embodied way, moving through them without getting stuck

  • Strategies to initiate and engage in challenging conversations without avoidance or overwhelm

  • Tools to support one another’s regulation while maintaining connection to your own authentic feelings

 

This workshop is part of a three-part series and while each workshop stands on its own, they are designed to work together. Experiencing all three offerings will help you integrate the material more deeply and gain the full benefit of the series.

Neurodiverse Relating & Executive Funcion

Many neurodivergent individuals and mixed neurotype couples struggle with executive function differences, including how to plan, prioritize, and manage the never-ending to-do list. These difficulties can create stress, leading to miscommunication and conflict, challenges with initiation and completion, and friction around different ways of doing things. We offer practical strategies to work with neurological differences instead of against them.

Neurodiverse Love & Emotional Intimacy

Learn how core neurodivergent experiences, including alexithymia, decision fatigue, sensory overload, and masking, impact intimacy and trust. Explore how to feel emotions without overanalyzing and support nervous system regulation. Practice engaging in challenging conversations without avoidance or overwhelm. Discover strategies to interrupt reactive patterns such as catastrophizing, shame spirals, and rejection sensitivity.

Neurodiverse Pleasure & Sexual Intimacy

Many neurodivergent people struggle with attention, arousal, and sensory regulation during dating and sex, which can make moments meant to feel pleasurable feel stressful instead. Discover how to explore and share sensory needs, manage distraction, regulate arousal, and create novelty while maintaining intimacy. You’ll get a personalized intimacy user manual and practical tools that will help you feel embodied and empowered.

  • "As someone who has struggled with shame spiraling for as long as I can remember, I found this content extremely helpful. Dr. Aly and Seb seemed like they were speaking specifically to me and what my experience has been like when my partners are upset with me. I better understood what I'm experiencing and what I can start to do differently in a way that I know will make a big difference."

  • "My partner who is autistic has been trying to get me to understand why she struggles to let me in on her feelings for so long and this workshop and the exercises and handouts finally bridged the gap in our struggles. It’s not that she doesn’t care it’s just that her brain works differently and there are tools and strategies to be able to better connect with each other. This was a game changer for us."

  • “The discussion about capacity and boundaries was so practical. We learned how to support each other without burning out or feeling guilty. It gave us a roadmap for handling overwhelm while staying connected and I think we'll get into less conflict as a result.”

    — V. E.

  • “I learned to slow down and actually be present when my partner shares feelings. I always wanted to fix things, but now I see how listening and empathizing first makes a huge difference. I can feel the shift in our connection already.”
