    What You'll Learn:

    By the end of this training, you will be able to:

    • Differentiate between avoidance rooted in anxiety/OCD and avoidance rooted in sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, or drive for autonomy.
    • Recognize the unique self-trust injuries common in Autistic and ADHD individuals, and how OCD exploits these vulnerabilities.
    • Identify when withdrawal is maladaptive versus when it is a strategic, adaptive response for energy and sensory management.
    • Apply a more nuanced, neurodivergent-affirming approach to supporting clients in building both self-trust and agency.

    This Training Is Ideal For...

    • Psychologists, therapists, and social workers in private practice or agency settings
    • Clinicians working with adults navigating complex clinical presentations
    • Professionals seeking a more neurodiversity-affirming, identity-centered approach to care
    • While this is a clinical training designed for providers, late-identified or self-questioning neurodivergent adults have also found this training meaningful.
