Most neurodivergent people aren’t living their best lives because they don't understand the "why" behind what makes their unique brains operate. If you don't understand the "why," the question of "how" seems nearly impossible to answer. Why do I have difficulty identifying and regulating my emotions? Why do I have difficulty in social situations? Without answers to questions like these, you'll never be able to figure out "how" to take control of your challenges, instead of letting them control you.
Don’t worry, it’s not your fault. Your neurotype plays a huge part in who you are and what you are doing in your life, right now. There is an answer for every challenge you experience, whether it be social, sensory, emotional, etc., and once you learn the root cause of your concerns, you can learn how to accommodate your own needs and live your best, most authentic life.
The great news is that our brains aren’t hardwired, like we used to think they were, meaning that “you can teach an old dog new tricks,” so to speak.
You are worthy of feeling understood and validated, and that includes how you perceive yourself. You CAN learn how to manage the challenges that are holding you back, and how to shift from a powerless to a empowered mindset. You just need the knowledge and support of a neuropsychotherapist (who's also neurodivergent), like me.
