Telling Your ADHD Partner “You’re Hurting Me” —Doesn't Work!

This episode is the audio version of my blog post on a sensitive but essential topic for ADHD-challenged relationships: Why the common advice to “just express your feelings” often backfires—especially when ADHD is in the mix. 📝 Read the full post here: Why Telling Your ADHD Partner “You’re Hurting Me” Isn’t Helping https://adhdrollercoaster.org/tools-a... We’re told that honesty and vulnerability improve relationships. But when your ADHD partner is struggling with poor self-regulation and self-awareness, your heartfelt message may not land the way you hope. It might even make things worse—for both of you. In this episode, I unpack: → Why “you hurt me” may feel accusatory—even if it’s meant to be vulnerable → How shame, ADHD-related defensiveness, and poor memory processing can sabotage communication → The problem with therapy that leans too heavily on expressing hurt, without understanding ADHD dynamics → More productive, empathy-building approaches that support real change These aren’t just opinions—they’re insights drawn from years of working with couples affected by ADHD, plus deep dives into clinical evidence.
