Words shape how we understand one another - and ourselves.

When talking about neurodivergence, the language we use matters. It can either reinforce stigma and stereotypes, or promote respect, understanding, and inclusion. Neurodiversity-affirming language recognises there is no single “right” way to experience the world.

Read our new blog post on neuro-affirming language, written by Director Yvonne Kilpatrick, for a few tips.

A few weeks ago, Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor Adam Mossman shared a professional development reflection with the team on schema therapy for antisocial presentations. Schema therapy is a therapeutic model that explores how early life experiences shape our patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.

We love creating space for ongoing learning and connection within our team and sharing evidence-based approaches that support meaningful progress for clients.

Did you know we also facilitate professional development for other organisations? If you’re looking for engaging and knowledgeable guest speakers or workshop facilitators, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at info@amherstpsychology.com.au. We’d love to chat about how we can help!
