Rethinking Adult ADHD: Lessons from “Procrastivity” and Self-Mistrust

Rethinking Adult ADHD: Lessons from “Procrastivity” and Self-Mistrust with Russell Ramsay

“Procrastivity” is a particular type of procrastination. It involves avoiding a high-priority task by doing something else that is productive, but not as urgent or important, which is ultimately self-defeating. However, “procrastivity” tasks offer clues for reducing procrastination on priority tasks that are particularly useful for adults with ADHD. Similarly, even though no one “thinks” themself into adult ADHD, living with ADHD in adulthood affects thoughts in important ways. Dr. Russell Ramsay will review important lessons learned from “procrastivity” and outline insights about the role of thoughts and beliefs in managing ADHD in adulthood, which are important themes in his most recent book, “Rethinking Adult ADHD: Helping Clients Turn Intentions Into Actions.”

ADHD Relationships & Sex with Ari Tuckman

Let’s Not Forget the Fun, Sexy Part of Our Relationship

Busy couples need to manage lots of important (and boring) responsibilities of adult life, but most people want a partner who they can also have fun with. This playful, sexy part of the relationship can be one of the first things to go when a couple is struggling with the business part. If ADHD isn’t well managed, it can create even more struggles for both partners. But all couples benefit from having a fun sex life to help them bounce over those inevitable bumps and bruises from daily life. Dr. Tuckman has researched how ADHD impacts a couple’s relationship and sex life and will offer strategies to help you improve both.

Ari Tuckman, PsyD is a psychologist, sex therapist, and ADHD expert. He has given more than 600 presentations, across America and in nine other countries. He is the author of four books on adult ADHD, including his most recent book, ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship which is the first to explore how ADHD impacts a couple’s sex life and relationship. He has been widely quoted in national media such as The New York Times and Men’s Health and appeared on countless podcasts.
