Dr Hallowell and Devika Chowdhury both have ADHD. Devika presents Dr Hallowell with a series of questions from therapists over the course of two hours. The discussion examines and probes some of the obvious and not so obvious impacts that ADHD can have on intimacy. It also points to some lessons for Psychosexual and Relationship Therapists and their practice, by drawing out clinical insight as well as lived experience.
