Listen "ADHD, Dopamine & Abusive Relationships"
Episode Synopsis
How can ADHD increase vulnerability to abusive relationships?In this episode, we explore why people with ADHD can be more vulnerable to entering - and staying in - abusive or unhealthy relationships.We look at how dopamine-seeking, emotional intensity, and love bombing can feel especially powerful for ADHD brains, why people-pleasing can develop as a coping strategy, and how Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) can make rejection or withdrawal feel overwhelming. When these traits are combined with the wrong partner, they can quietly increase risk - without it ever being the survivor’s fault.If this episode has resonated and you feel like you’ve been stuck in these cycles, I want you to know that they can be broken. With understanding, support, and the right tools, it’s possible to step out of repeating patterns, find healthier ways to meet dopamine needs, and build boundaries that genuinely protect your wellbeing.Work with meAimee Heaton - Award winning Trauma-Informed Coach & Astrology Guide Website: ready-aim-succeed-coaching.co.ukContact me Email: [email protected]: 07587 010 183Connect with meFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1CVuPNmorR/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aimee-heaton-ready-aim-succeed-coachingInstagram: @ready_aim_succeed_coachingIf this episode helped, share it with someone rebuilding after abuse 💖
