28. Making Up is Hard (Repair & PDA)

What does repair look like when both of you are AuDHD — and both of you are PDA?

Not the stuff the books say. The real stuff. The texting instead of talking, the AI translation, the sitting across the room instead of next to each other. The wordless hug that finally worked when words made everything worse.

In this episode:

• Why standard repair tools create freeze instead of resolution for PDA nervous systems
• What "No. But I heard you" actually does for demand-sensitive partners
• How demand-loading works — and why more talking can make things less accessible
• What it looks like when less demand becomes the path back to connection
