[FLASHBACK] Episode 7: Finding a Neurodivergent Affirmative Therapist
About this episode
Finding a neurodivergent affirmative therapist is important for individuals who are Autistic, have ADHD, or have another diagnosis.
However, it isn't always easy to connect with a therapist who is willing to explore their client's special interests, even though it can help them feel more comfortable and relaxed during therapy sessions.
There are some therapists out there who shy away from or just don't understand neurodivergent minds and thinking, despite what claims may be on their profiles, which can make finding the right therapist a challenge.
But neurodivergent affirmative therapists are out there. You just need to know what to look for.
If you are looking for a neurodivergent affirmative therapist and aren't sure where to start, then this episode is for you.
