The one major thing that my clients with ADHD tell me is that they don\u2019t know how they\u2019ll manage their divorce. They already feel overwhelmed. Often they feel lazy, disorganised and incompetent: \u2018not a real adult\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a divorce coach who has supported clients with ADHD for years, and as a full-time carer for my husband, who has ADHD as well as early onset dementia, I\u2019ve seen what works and what doesn\u2019t! These are my five client-focussed ways to make divorce more do-able when you have ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Do divorce in bitesize chunks<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The overwhelm is real! Neurodiversity can cause extra fatigue due to the extra mental effort you are using. Please remember that divorce doesn\u2019t need to be tackled in one go. Give yourself permission to break it down into achievable steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure what they are, or where to even start? That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for! My <\/span>Understanding Divorce Cards<\/span><\/a> help you get to grips with one aspect of divorce each day, for 30 days. Each day you\u2019ll have just one task to complete to empower you with understanding divorce.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you join <\/span>The Absolute Academy,<\/span><\/a> you\u2019ll see all the video resources are in bitesize, five minute lessons. So it\u2019s easy to absorb the information and focus without getting distracted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Get the support you need<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Not all support is the same, and I know from clients that it can be demoralising and disempowering when the \u2018support\u2019 you receive hinders rather than helps – maybe you blame yourself for <\/span>still<\/span><\/i> not being able to get on with your divorce despite that expensive advice or your neighbour having her divorce sorted months ago?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is to be clear about the support you need to make divorce work for you. What might that look like?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
