For many AuDHD folks, it can be so exhausting to figure out how to survive in a world built for neurotypical folks. It can lead to constant feelings of burnout, never feeling good enough, like you can't be yourself with anyone you're around. It can be a constant struggle to get daily tasks of living done and to build/maintain relationships that feel supportive.

Therapy can support you in figuring out systems that work with your neurotype rather than against it! Whether it's co-creating systems that make your life feel more livable, practicing relational skills, processing/healing from trauma, or feeling seen/heard/supported by a fellow neurodivergent human (I'm also AuDHD!), getting support can help you figure out how to build a life that you love rather than one you just endure.

After experiencing trauma, it can feel like your sense of self is fragmented or broken. It can be exhausting, trying to move on with your life while carrying the burden of what has happened to you.

Whether it's a single-event or complex (cumulative) trauma, trauma-informed therapy (such as EMDR and Somatic Counseling) can support you in finding safety and security in your body, mind and spirit. When you're not constantly trying to survive, you can free up your energy to work towards the life you dream of.

Struggling with your body image and self-esteem can feel all-consuming, like you're constantly being berated by inner critical thoughts and that nothing you ever do is good enough.

Therapy (particularly therapy that is rooted in anti-oppression, body liberation principles) can support you in un-learning ingrained ideologies of diet culture and body-based systemic oppression. It can support you in building sustainable habits that feel nourishing rather than restrictive, and in building a resilient identity that allows you to feel good about who you are rather than what you look like.

If you've been experiencing a desire to explore the spiritual in your life, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. It can feel challenging to trust your own intuition, to connect with spiritual supports (ancestors, archetypes, guides), and to build grounded spiritual practices.

It can be challenging to talk about spiritual experiences in the context of therapy, because so many traditional therapies view states of altered consciousness as being indicative of having an underlying mental disorder. Spiritual Identity Development in Therapy can help you to forge your own relationship with your inner world, develop actionable strategies for blending the spiritual with the material (how spirit fits into your day-to-day life), and find ways to engage with your spirituality that add meaning, purpose and clarity to your life.
