ADHD and Sex

A Workbook for Exploring Sexuality and Increasing Intimacy

About this book

This innovative workbook allows couples and individuals to explore the intersection of ADHD and sexuality and its many manifestations in a couple's sex life and relationship.

With useful and practical interventions provided to help identify and address common sexual problems, Dr. Lyne Piché provides individuals with tools to better communicate their needs to improve intimacy. Chapters discuss how to better maintain attention and focus during sex, explore grounding strategies to help individuals get in touch with their bodies and encourage individuals to confront anxieties surrounding sexual pleasure, sexual transitions and address common sexual problems. Through these exercises and discussions, individuals and couples alike can feel empowered to develop a sexual plan and outline ways to improve communication, break down barriers and discover the advantages of ADHD.

This book is essential for adults with ADHD looking to embrace their sexuality, partners of neurodivergent adults, as well as therapists, counselors and coaches who work with neurodivergent clients.
