About this event

“Love on the Run: Exploring the Link Between ADHD and Polyamory” is a distinctive seminar designed to explore the complex relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and polyamorous relationships. It focuses on how ADHD affects interpersonal dynamics, emphasizing both the challenges and benefits in polyamorous contexts. The seminar begins with an in-depth look at ADHD, including its symptoms and effects on emotional regulation and impulsivity in relationships. It then examines why individuals with ADHD might be drawn to polyamory, exploring the need for novelty and complex social interactions. Additionally, the seminar provides insights from clinical experiences, offering practical strategies for managing ADHD within the framework of polyamorous relationships, thereby offering valuable knowledge for practitioners working with this population.
