SUMMARY:Connecting Through Our Differences: A Therapy Group for Couples Navigating ADHD and Autism
DESCRIPTION:Is your relationship full of tension fueled by traits such as sensory overwhelm\, executive dysfunction\, rejection sensitivity\, or conflict that gets lost in the details?  You are not alone.  Many relationships experience unique stressors due to ADHD and Autism.  \nWe created “Connecting Through Our Differences” for people exactly like you.  \nThis 6-week group uses a collaborative\, relationship-focused approach that normalizes these experiences. Our focus is not on changing who you are\, or to help you fit into the neurotypical expectation of what a relationship “should” look like. Rather\, we aim to assist you in fostering a deeper understanding of your differences so you can move forward together as your authentic selves. \nWhat Happens in the Group?  \nEach week\, we’ll gather for 2 hours in a small\, supportive circle of other partners who also experience the challenges of ADHD and Autism. Together\, we’ll explore things like:  \n\nDo we really understand each other? \n\n\nWhy are we always fighting about shared responsibilities? \n\n\nAre we truly connected on an emotional level? \n\n\nWhat would it look like to take a small step toward understanding and accommodating our unique attributes?\n\nEach session includes:  \n\nCheck-ins\n\n\nSkill building  \nEducation for deeper understanding of ADHD and Autism\nActivities and conversations that enhance understanding and collaboration\n\n\nReflections and takeaways you can carry into your week \n\nYou don’t need to “have it all figured out” to join. You just need to be willing to show up and get curious about your relationship.  \nThis Group Might Be for You  \nIf you…  \n\nFeel like missed social cues and semantics are fueling conflict \n\n\nStruggle with imbalanced distribution of labor at home\n\n\nWant to feel more understood\, connected\, and supported in your relationship\n\n\nCrave a space where you can learn valuable relational skills among your peers without judgment\n\nWhat You’ll Walk Away With  \nBy the end of 6 weeks\, you’ll have:  \n\nGreater awareness of how ADHD or Autism impact your relationship\n\n\nKnowledge of when and how to accommodate when needed\n\n\nPractice regulating emotions and engaging in healthy communication\n\n\nA group of peers who get it \n\nYou won’t leave with a “fix”—because you’re not broken. But you will leave with clarity\, connection\, and some next steps that feel true to you.  \nDetails  \n\nWho: Partners age 18 and up with one or more individuals with ADHD or Autism (suspected but not diagnosed folks are welcome to join)\nWhen: Every Saturday from 3-5pm between March 14th and April 18th\nWhere: Kalamazoo Therapy Group\, 1901 Parkview Avenue\nCost: \nFacilitated by: Carly Jacobs\, PC & MFT Intern and Emmett Lincoln\, MFT Intern\nSeats available: 4 Partners (therefore registration is required for this event)\n\nReady to Join Us?

SUMMARY:Getting to Know Defensiveness: a VIRTUAL gathering
DESCRIPTION:We all do it sometimes. We experience something that triggers a part of us to guard and defend. This defensiveness\, while sometimes an appropriate\, protective strategy\, oftentimes creates a barrier between us and the people we most care about. It even creates a barrier between us and ourselves. When we fall into a defensive stance\, we have blinders on that prevent us from seeing a full situation. With these blinders on\, it is nearly impossible to respond appropriately to what the situation might call for. Together\, we will take a unique perspective in understanding why we get so defensive\, identify strategies to stop\, and learn how we can show up with our loved ones when they\, themselves\, have blinders and are in a state of defense. \nDetails \nWho: Individuals or couples (18+) \nWhen: Monday\, March 23 from 6:30-8:30pm \nWhere: Online \nCost: $65 for individuals\, $90 for couples \nFacilitated by: Kelsey Nimmo\, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Certified Sex Therapist \nRegister Now \n  \nThis event will include… \n\nIntroductions\nA brief meditation\nPsychoeducation about the nature of defensiveness\, how and why it prevents in ourselves\, and how to \nA brief community discussion\n\n  \nYou’ll walk away with an understanding of… \n\nThe nature of defensiveness and how it tends to present in relationships\nThe destructive capacity of defensiveness and how it can significantly restrict the emotional honesty and intimacy between you and your partner\nHow to notice when you are being defensive and how to stop\nHow to handle when someone else is defensive\n\nAbout the facilitator \nKelsey Nimmo is a Marriage and Family Therapist\, Certified Sex Therapist\, and Relationship Coach. She has spent over ten years supporting couples in fostering more emotional and physical intimacy in their relationships through a unique approach in prioritizing the wholeness of each individual within the partnership. \nKelsey believes that to create and maintain the depth of connection and fulfillment we each desire with another human we care deeply for\, we must find a way to learn and integrate our own personal development. Through individual growth\, health\, and wholeness\, we can only then show up in our fullness with compassion\, love\, generosity\, and acceptance. \nWhile we often think of relationships as having the goal of “connection\,” Kelsey supports couples in learning to navigate and find resilience for the naturally occurring coming together and falling apart that every relationship will endure throughout its lifetime. Guiding couples to learn to hold and honor these times of transition (and times of disconnect) while not losing sight of individual needs and well-being (and not holding onto them too rigidly)\, she seeks to help couples step into a new sense of love and depth in their relationships that they may have never experienced before. \nKelsey offers individual counseling as well as relationship coaching\, and facilitates groups and events related to grief\, meditation\, and relationship intelligence. \nTo register\nPlease complete the form below. We’ll set up a secure client portal for you using your date of birth where you can complete registration. Please note that your seat is not reserved for this event until you have completed the documents in your client portal and paid the cost of this event. \n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n					\n						\n							\n							\n						\n						\n						\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n										\n										\n									\n									\n										\n										\n									\n								\n							\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n									\n										\n									\n									\n									\n								\n							\n						\n					\n				\n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nBirthdate (to set up your portal for registration) (YYYY-MM-DD)(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nIf you are attending with your partner\, please also include their full name and date of birth\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nWhat are you most hoping to get out of this event?
