Nerodivergence in Middle Age and Later Years
Price from £11.00
Qualifications
- BA (Hons) In Counselling
Led by Jan Harrison, an experienced counsellor with a lived experience of realising that everything I was learning about my neurodivergent clients seemed to apply to me too! I haven’t had a diagnosis and don’t feel the need for one – that might imply I needed fixing or could be fixed. But what has been helpful has been figuring out how it impacts my own navigation of the world around so that I can do life more fully without burning out on a regular basis. Maybe that sounds a bit like you?
What it is:
A space where you will be able to engage with others in a similar position – you are not alone! This is a safe, non-judgmental place for support and encouragement, particularly for those of us with no diagnosis or a late diagnosis. The conversations will focus on the needs of those who are participating though we will have a theme each week.Â
To start things, we will be looking at reframing experiences through a neurodiversity lens:
- Guilt and shame
- Managing anxiety
- Identifying support that helps
- Mindfulness adaptations
- Integration
What it isn’t:
It isn’t personal counselling, although you might also find that helpful and complements being part of the group. It isn’t judgmental, it is not designed to increase any feelings of guilt or shame that you may feel. It isn’t designed to give you all the answers or fix everything that you are finding difficult, but it may give you some fresh helpful insights.
How will it work:
- Hour-long online video calls each week – we know how precious time is when you are juggling so much
- Group expectations will be agreed, published and regularly reviewed and updated
- An open-ended group
- Although people may join at any point, this group will be full and closed to new members once there are 12 people in it; spaces will become available as people leave so just let Jan know if you want to be added to the waiting
