5 Tips to Set Healthy ADHD Boundaries

1. Show Empathy

Being empathetic and compassionate to others will prevent them from misinterpreting your new boundaries. Be clear about what you’re doing so your discussion becomes a way to learn more about each other’s needs.

2. Explore Your Needs

When you disconnect from your natural human needs life can feel unmoored and disordered. Recognizing your own basic human needs will help you create boundaries to protect yourself.

3. Self Focus

Focus on your needs and wants when expressing boundaries to others. This will help them feel less blamed and therefore less defensive.

4. Clear Communication

Be clear about your needs and communicate them. Feeling resentment is a good cue. Avoid trying to appease others at the expense of meeting your own needs.

5. Anticipate Triggers

Prepare for stressful situations and rehearse how to intervene and mitigate the fallout before it happens. Respecting this boundary can strengthen your relationship and bring you closer.
