What’s the Point of Trying to Communicate in a NeuroDivergent Relationship?

To move past the miscommunication in your NeuroDivergent relationship, you must first eliminate your anger towards your partner and towards yourself. For this to happen, you need to understand that your NeuroDiverse loved one has a different operating system than you.
Join Dr. Kathy’s in today’s episode of NeuroDivergent Relationships to hear her share about her tools to achieve better communication in your relationship.

Join us for this episode of NeuroDivergent Relationships where Dr. Kathy breaks down how you can begin to rebuild the bridge in your NeuroDivergent Relationship through communication.
