Therapy can be a useful tool for neurodivergent people experiencing sensory sensitivity, difficulties with emotional regulation and executive functioning, masking, rejection sensitivity, or burnout.
Neurodiversity exists on a spectrum with overlaps between neurodivergence and the neurotypical ‘norm’. A person might well display traits along a spectrum, but never satisfy the full criteria decided upon by the professional classifying bodies. Aspects of neurodivergence can blend all too confusingly into the more commonly understood symptoms of depression, anxiety and borderline personality, and while these symptoms can be supported with therapy, ADHD and Autism are diagnosed through comprehensive clinical assessments which are not offered at The Whole Works.
The Whole Works does not offer any ADHD or ASD assessments but we do have therapists with experience in working with neurodiverse clients.
Therapy can significantly empower neurodivergent clients to embrace their differences and move towards a deeper understanding of themselves by exploring their personal history, the journey through their significant relationships, the emotions they may have found too hard to process. Once such challenges are shared, articulated and acknowledged, a deepened understanding can begin and a heightened sense of life can be embraced.
