Oversharing, vulnerability hangovers & conflict with Dr. Ali Arena

Dr. Ali Arena is a communications & relationship expert specialising in the unique relational dynamics between neurodivergents and neurotypicals, both adults and kids. Ali has ADHD herself, and is both a Speech-Language Pathologist & Board Certified Behaviour Analyst. She’s a kind of like an interpersonal detective that searches for patterns to increase connection either in romantic relationships, friendships, or parent-child dynamics.

Dr. Ali & I talk about:

• the differences in communication style between women and men
• the social strengths of ADHD in relationships
• how to navigate chronic oversharing, info-dumping and vulnerability hangovers
• all or nothing catastrophizing in arguments
• having arguments because we’re bored and it’s a dopamine hit
• becoming disembodied during conflicts and disconnecting from our intentions/spiralling out of control
• setting boundaries and scheduling down time to nourish your nervous system
• sensory regulation tips for supporting the ADHD kids in your life
• helping your ADHD partner calm down when they’re spiralling
• and so much more...!
