NEURODIVERSITY SUPPORT GROUP

Do you identify with being introverted, highly-sensitive or an empath? Have you ever been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, OCD, anxiety, depression or other neurodivergent ways of being? Are you prone to feeling sensory, cognitive, and/or emotional overwhelm? Do you have an underlying sense that there is something different about your mind, emotions and/or experiences?

Neurodiversity refers to the healthy variation in how different people’s brains receive, process and respond to stimuli. To function well, those of us who identify as neurodivergent need to understand our neurology and how best to adapt so we can flourish in a world that is not set up for us.   

In this online 6-week group, we will learn:
1) How our brain / neurology / nervous system works
2) How our unique neurology affects our emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships
3) The importance of self-understanding and a self-care routine that stabilizes our nervous system
4) Ways to work with anxiety, depression, meltdowns and shutdowns
5) Tools to best support and integrate neurodivergent identity

Weekly Schedule:
Week 1: Introduction to neurodiversity / neurodivergence, cognitive overload
Week 2: Sensory dysregulation
Week 3: Emotional overwhelm
Week 4: Nervous system dysregulation / meltdown / shutdown
Week 5: Burnout
Week 6: Neurodivergent strengths, building resilience, self-advocacy
