Note: This workshop is part of a three-part series. We also invite you to join Neurodiverse Relating & Executive Function on March 3rd and Neurodiverse Pleasure & Sexual Intimacy on March 24th recommended (but not required) companions to this workshop.

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.

In this experiential workshop, Dr. Alison Ash and Sebastian Clarke 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.

We'll explore:

  • 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

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.
