Quote of the Week
“We are constantly balancing between hope and honesty. Where I come down on it is that I get reminded over and over again that hope has value in itself. Hope can heal.”
-Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Hope Can Heal
Partners struggling in ADHD-impacted relationships may feel hopeless. As a result, they have stopped trying and (often) slid into depression. From a practical standpoint, this has the effect of reinforcing their hopelessness – no work generally means no improvement.
One of the great benefits about finally finding out that ADHD is impacting your lives together is that it provides a reason for the issues you’ve faced, as well as a path out of the struggle. Importantly, the context that knowing about ADHD provides allows hope to reemerge.
Dr. Gupta notes ‘hope can heal.’ For me, it is that hope – and a knowable path - provide the energy and motivation for BOTH partners to begin the work they each need to do to change the patterns that have become so ingrained.
