What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence—like ADHD, autism, or other cognitive differences—isn’t a flaw; it’s a unique way of experiencing the world. But in a world designed for neurotypical minds, it can feel like you’re constantly trying to fit into a box that wasn’t made for you. Whether you’re navigating life as an individual or in a relationship, neurodivergence can bring both strengths and challenges.
How and Where Does It Show Up?
In individual therapy, neurodivergence might show up as difficulty with focus, sensory overload, or feeling misunderstood by others. In couples therapy, it can look like mismatched communication styles, struggles with emotional regulation, or frustration over unmet needs. These challenges aren’t about blame—they’re about understanding and adapting to each other’s unique ways of being.
