E3: Insights into ADHD Couple Dynamics with Therapist John Foulkes

Today’s Guest is John Foulkes, Registered Psychotherapist, ADHD Couples therapist and my colleague at Dig a Little Deeper. It’s Valentine's Day, so John and I are talking about: 

• How does ADHD show up on the couples therapy couch? 
• How do we take responsibility for ourselves? 
• What is an over-functioner to do? 
• How to stop the 'Find the Bad Guy' dance in an ADHD couple dynamic? 
• Why is ADHD like a stone in your shoe?
