Group Facilitator:

“I combine my therapy skills with ten years of academic teaching to help A.C.C.E.P.T. group participants understand their neurodivergent operating systems and become fluent in translating their perceptions and experiences to neurotypical friends, family members, colleagues, and service providers, so they can experience greater authenticity and ease in their lives with the neurodiverse population to promote self-awareness, self-regulation, and improved executive function, attention, and time management.”

The A.C.C.E.P.T. Series for ND Adults provides unique spaces for neurodivergent people to meet, explore their identities, unpack myths about their brains and nervous systems, connect with other neurodivergent people, and build skills to navigate a neurotypical world.

The Series is based on the three pillars of the A.C.C.E.P.T. Framework: Understanding, Communication, and Connection. In each pillar, you will receive a pre-recorded introduction to the pillar, workbooks with activities and resources, and attend four online sessions with a six-month drop-in follow-up, and lifetime membership in an ACCEPT members-only Facebook group.

Pillar Three: Connection

In Pillar Three, we will explore barriers to connection, what can be ‘fixed’ and what has to be ‘lived with’, how to ‘live with’ the things we can’t fix using the skills of radical acceptance and self-compassion. Unmasking is hard. Constantly translating ourselves in this world with puzzling norms requires next level skills in calming our nervous systems to allow authentic connection. We will go deep in how to use Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBTS) skills to self-regulate and co-regulate.

Dates: TBD
