Sorry, I Missed This: The Everything Guide to ADHD and Relationships with Cate Osborn22 Okt 2024

Using the Wheel of Consent to understand and express desire with Betty Martin

Consent is an agreement that people reach together. It can get a bit tricky with people-pleasing and black and white thinking — two things that can often come up with ADHD. The Wheel of Consent can help.

This week, host Cate Osborn welcomes Betty Martin to the show. Betty is the author of The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent. Join Betty and Cate as they break down the Wheel of Consent and why it can be a great tool for ADHDers.
