Workshop 3 : Neurodivergent Couples Foundations - The Four Horsemen—Barriers to Healthy Communication

In this group you can expect:

‍A six‑session course for couples who want to understand each other more deeply, communicate more effectively, and build a relationship that feels safe, connected, and sustainable.

This course is designed specifically for neurodivergent couples—whether one or both partners are autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or otherwise neurodivergent. Each session blends education, practical tools, and guided reflection to help partners understand their differences, reduce conflict, and strengthen emotional connection in ways that honor each person’s neurotype.

Through a neuro-affirming lens, Bev Hutchinson, a Registered Psychotherapist (RP, CSP-ADHD) and Gottman Level 2 trained therapist, guides the attendees through some of the foundational skills of being in a healthy relationship. The workshop sessions will focus on subjects including listening, communication, how to repair and how different neurotypes impact the relationship. The sessions will be a blend of presentations and group facilitations. We hope you can join us!

Workshop Three: The Four Horsemen—Barriers to Healthy Communication

Using the “Four Horsemen” framework (criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling), this session helps couples identify patterns that escalate conflict or shut down connection. Participants learn how these behaviors show up uniquely in neurodivergent relationships and how to replace them with healthier alternatives.
