S3E5 | “EFCT with Couples Impacted by ADHD” with Alexine Thompson-de Benoit
FRIDAY, JANUARY 10 2025, 10:00AM-12:00PM PST
When one of the partners has ADHD, the cycle can be exacerbated by it, making it more difficult to de-escalate as symptoms keep triggering it, and emotions run high. In this episode, we will watch a couple impacted by ADHD and see how the therapist uses her knowledge of ADHD and takes it into account as she tracks the cycle and accesses and deepens emotions related to ADHD's impact on the relationship, leading the partners to a softer, more vulnerable and empathic place of attunement to each other.
Alexine Thompson-de Benoit is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the trainer for French-speaking Switzerland. Over the last few years, she has seen an influx of ADHD impacted couples in her practice and, with her colleague and ADHD specialist Ben Kneubühler, has developed a Master Class on how to work with such couples within the EFT model. She has contributed to different podcasts on the topic and keeps exploring creative ways to better help these couples team up and manage together the impact ADHD has on their relationship.
