WHat we do
Looking for a clear, grounded voice on ADHD, attachment, and modern relationships?
Grazel brings a clinical, compassionate, and refreshingly plain-English perspective to conversations about neurodiverse relationships. Her work explores why common relationship advice often misses the mark when ADHD, attachment needs, emotional flooding, rejection sensitivity, shame, and shutdown are shaping the cycle between partners.
THE BOOK
About Crossed Signals
Crossed Signals: Healing the ADHD and Attachment Cycle Through EFT explores what happens when ADHD neurobiology and attachment needs collide inside intimate relationships. The framework addresses patterns such as pursuit-withdrawal cycles, shame spirals, emotional flooding, shutdown, rejection sensitivity, and the loneliness both partners can experience when they keep missing each other.

Topics Grazel can speak on
01
Crossed Signals: How ADHD Traits Shape Attachment Bonds in Couples
How ADHD neurobiology — emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitive dysphoria, working memory deficits, time blindness — interacts with attachment needs to create cycles that are faster, more intense, and more confusing than standard couple distress. Includes clinical application for therapists and accessible takeaways for general audiences.
02
When the Model Stalls: Adapting EFT for Neurodiverse Couples
For clinicians and training institutes. Why EFT is the right framework for ADHD-affected couples — and where the standard model needs adaptation. Covers assessment, pacing, enactment modifications, and common clinical pitfalls with neurodiverse couples.
03
The Non-ADHD Partner’s Experience: Loneliness, Over-Functioning, and Finding Your Way Back
An underserved perspective in the ADHD conversation. Explores the emotional world of the non-ADHD partner — the chronic loneliness, the caretaker fatigue, the grief — and how therapists can hold both partners’ realities without pathologizing either one.
04
RSD, Shame, and Emotional Flooding: The Inner World of the ADHD Partner in Relationships
What’s happening internally when the ADHD partner shuts down, blows up, or disappears. Bridges ADHD neuroscience and attachment theory to help audiences understand emotional dysregulation as a relational event, not a character flaw.
05
Love After Diagnosis: Rebuilding Connection When ADHD Changes the Story
For couples and general audiences. What happens to a relationship when one partner receives an ADHD diagnosis — especially a late diagnosis. How couples can use the diagnosis as a turning point rather than a verdict, and what repair actually looks like.
