    Sep 14 2024

    What do AuDHDers need (beyond the obvious needs all humans have)? And why do those needs matter?


    This episode covers some important ones:

    • Being able to engage with our interests (in a particular way)
    • Executive Function support, without trying to make the hardest things easy or enjoyable
    • Autonomy
    • True rest
    • The narrow path of just enough stimulation
    • Processing time
    • To be witnessed in just the right way
    • Recognition that our needs vary quite a bit day to day
    • Coming to terms with disability
    • Space and time throughout our self-discovery journey
    • Safe enough spaces to explore what it means to be ourself

  • ND + the Inner Conversation
    Sep 2 2024

    Bonus drop from The Curiosity Cure podcast:

    Today's conversation with Mattia takes us through their journey with chronic pain, feeling better, and the ways they navigate their inner mindbody conversation as someone with AuDHD + PDA. We touch upon themes of neurodivergence, gender transition, resourcing inner + external safety. We chat about using hypnotic techniques to decrease a sense of threat/unsafety that may accompany disorders like ehlers-danlos syndrome and POTS.
