Intended Audience

This training is ideal for:

• Therapists who provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy but aren’t sure where to start with sensory work.
• Clinicians who have heard of interoception but aren’t sure how to make it clinically relevant.
• Professionals curious about how alexithymia shows up in therapy and how to support it.
• Anyone seeking simple, affirming tools they can use with clients right away.
• While this is a clinical training designed for providers, late-identified or self-questioning neurodivergent adults have also found this training meaningful.
