In this episode of Insights from the Trenches, I speak with Dr. Mark Bertin about the transformative power of mindfulness in ADHD relationships. I first discovered Mark at the PESI ADHD Summit (now PESI’s ADHD Conference) on the topic of mindfulness, and what he shared immediately resonated with me. It helped me connect the dots that both my partner and I had actually been practicing mindfulness in our communication with each other—without even realizing it. When I connected with Mark, I knew I had to bring him on the show to share his insights on how mindfulness can strengthen ADHD relationships.
During our conversation, Dr. Bertin explores practical mindfulness strategies for couples, including techniques to stay calm during heated conversations. These tools help partners pause, reflect, and communicate more thoughtfully, ultimately fostering deeper understanding and connection in ADHD relationships.
