You, Me, and Our ADHD Family

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“In her terrific new book, You, Me, and Our ADHD Family, ADHD coach, educator, and author Tamara Rosier manages the daunting task of helping you know that you aren’t given a perfect family and that conflict, although unpleasant, is a natural part of human relationships. What to do when those disagreements arise, however, is where her expertise shines through. She offers you practical, effective tools for overcoming disputes and distance and nurturing self-awareness and connection instead. Using clear language to explain complicated information about the brain, emotions, and family systems, she leads you to understand how big feelings are contagious in families and relationships and what you can do to monitor and manage yourself more effectively. With thoughtful exercises designed to foster self-reflection, sample conversation techniques, real-life examples from clients, and key takeaways, she teaches you interventions to improve emotional regulation, empathy, distractedness, and broken attachments. Tamara courageously shares many lessons she has learned personally that add to the richness of this book. This is a must-read for anybody living in a neurodivergent family. I will be recommending it to my clients, my colleagues, and my friends.”
