Workshops

Neurodivergence, Love + Intimacy 

Understanding Your Brain in Relationships

September 12, 2026 | 12:00 PM CT | Virtual

Hosted by Dr. Samia Khan, PhD, LMFT, LPC, CST

Ever find yourself thinking:

“I know we love each other… so why does connecting sometimes feel so hard?”

Neurodivergence can influence how we experience and communicate love, affection, sensory needs, emotional connection, conflict, desire, and intimacy.

This research-informed educational event is designed for neurodivergent individuals and couples who want to better understand the why behind their relationship patterns—and learn practical ways to communicate what helps their brain and body feel connected.

What We'll Explore

• How neurodivergence can show up in relationships and intimacy

• Different ways our brains recognize and experience love

• Sensory needs, overstimulation, and connection

• Communication and emotional processing differences

• Desire, affection, and physical intimacy

• Regulation, rejection sensitivity, and relational patterns

• Identifying what helps you feel loved—and understanding what helps your partner feel loved

• Translating differences into clearer relational needs rather than assuming disconnection means a lack of care

You'll Receive Resources

Registration includes practical take-home resources to continue exploring what you learn, including the Neurodivergent Relational Needs Mind Map—a guided tool for identifying your individual needs around:

Connection • Communication • Regulation • Affection • Sensory Experiences • Desire • Intimacy

The goal isn't to teach you the “right” way to have a relationship.

It's to help you understand your brain + their brain + how each of you experiences connection.
