Change can be a challenge for many, even more so if your neurodivergent. Having multiple tools which you can access to cope with changes and unexpected events can help.

Increasing your resilience, by improving confidence and self esteem can help with building resilience, allowing you to cope better with change.

I often say that every interaction with a person can teach you something about yourself. This is why a good relationship in therapy is so important. The client can learn more about themselves by every interaction with the therapist. Often the therapist learns from the client as well. There is an ever changing opportunity for growth.

SAD)
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that comes and goes in a seasonal pattern.
SAD is sometimes known as "winter depression" because the symptoms are usually more apparent and more severe during the winter.
Treatments can include; getting as much sunlight as possible, exercise, if possible avoid to much stress, using a light box for up to 30min a day and talking therapy such as counselling.
