For neurodivergent folks, there are some common themes that come up frequently as we wrestle with the challenges of living in a neurotypical world. Here are some of the areas I often work with clients on:
- Learning how to get out of chronic ‘stuck’ states like anxiety or overwhelm
- Preventing and recovering from burnout
- Mapping out a sensory profile to identify areas that need support
- Setting up pacing systems when overwhelm takes over
- Recognizing how autistic traits can show up differently in women and what to look for (Female Autism Phenotype)
- Holistic strategies for living with health issues that commonly occur in neurodivergent individuals (insomnia, GI issues, migraines, allergies & mast cell disorders, EDS, POTS, chronic pain, etc.)
- Issues around PDA, alexithymia and RSD
- Strategies to reconnect with your body and the natural world if you mostly live in your head
- Navigating the challenges of having a ‘spiky’ profile (where you are exceptionally skilled in some areas and need support in others)
- Figuring out how to find employment that matches your skill set, meets your needs to maintain autonomy, and allows you to customize your sensory environment
- Supporting a family member with high support needs while meeting your own needs at the same time
- How to homeschool a child who has not been thriving in school
- Relationship challenges either in the workplace, with family, or with partners
- Making sense of neurodivergent traits and getting a better grasp of one’s unique profile
- Learning how to unmask and lean into neurodivergent strengths
- Working through anger or outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere
- Providing consultations for clinicians seeking to better understand and meet the needs of their neurodivergent clients
