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 experiential workshop will share 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 Love & Emotional Intimacy 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 how to 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.

  • “This workshop gave us tools for conflicts we’ve been having for years. Instead of framing things as one of us not trying hard enough, we now see how our executive function differences were driving resentment on both sides. The practical strategies around requests, planning, and team meetings have already changed how we relate day to day.”

  • “I usually feel nervous talking with strangers, but everyone was welcoming and the exercises were structured in a way that made it easy to connect and move past any initial awkwardness. I don’t have a partner right now so I wasn’t sure how relevant it would be, but the material was immediately applicable to my relationships with colleagues and family and I know it will be helpful in preparing me for a future relationship.”

    -G.A.

  • "I’ve read a lot of ADHD and autism-related content, but this was the first time executive function was explained in a way that actually reduced my shame. I left feeling clearer about why things are hard and with tools I can realistically use, not another list of things I’m failing at.”

    — B.R.

  • "I attended this workshop with my partner and we got so many helpful tips and ideas to try. We have had a hard time with delegating chores and what to do about things feeling unfair and this workshop really helped each of us get creative with ways to address this issue. We are so looking forward to the next two!"
