Brain Fog is a Buzz Kill Part 3: with Author Ari Tuckman PsyD

In February, we are talking about “cog fog”, difficulty with focus, ADHD, and how all of these cognitive symptoms might affect our sexual well-being. Cog fog might cause your thoughts to drift during sex, or they might cause you to repeatedly forget to take out the trash when you promised to. Repeatedly.

In part two and three of this series, we sit down to talk with author and psychologist Dr. Ari Tuckman about ADHD-like symptoms, how they affect our sexual connections and what we can do about it. Dr. Tuckman is the author of “ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship”.
