About This Event

Making Sense of Mixed Messages is a 30-minute session designed to support AuDHD and neurodivergent adults in navigating confusing, contradictory, or indirect communication with more clarity and confidence.

What To Expect

• Brief learning on one specific mixed-message pattern and how it typically shows up in everyday interactions

• Explore why these dynamics create doubt, confusion, or cognitive overload

• Interactive Q&A and practice with simple scripts for real conversations that align with how you think and communicate

This Is for You If

• You often leave conversations feeling confused, doubting yourself, or replaying what was said

• You notice mixed signals like indirect requests, emotional pressure, or shifting expectations

• You are AuDHD or neurodivergent and want communication tools that match how you actually think and process

What You’ll Walk Away With

• Greater awareness of when you are carrying more emotional or conversational load than intended

• Clearer ways to respond without overexplaining or shutting down

• More confidence in choosing when and how to engage without pressure

TOPIC: The Burden of Being “The Strong Friend”

Being seen as the reliable or capable person often leads to unspoken expectations, uneven support, and confusion about what is actually mutual. This session focuses on recognizing how “the strong friend” role can be a form of masking that disconnects you from others.

• How to notice when others rely on your strength without checking your capacity

• How to identify your needs and limits while staying connected to the relationship

• How to communicate support boundaries in a way that invites shared responsibility

Join the conversation every Tuesday at 6pm CST.
