Sorry, I Missed This: The Everything Guide to ADHD and Relationships with Cate Osborn30 Heinä 2024

Setting boundaries in relationships with ADHD

Boundaries are limits based on our values — and a key part of good relationships. ADHD can come with low self-esteem and anxiety, which can get in the way of respecting your own boundaries in relationships.

ADHD educator and marriage counselor Melissa Orlov explains what boundaries are and how ADHD comes into play. Plus, she offers tips on how to set and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships.
