What is Neurodivergence?

Neurodiversity includes all the natural variations in human brains and bodies. Neurodivergence includes the ways in which ND brains and bodies differ from neurotypical brains and bodies. This can happen in two ways (innate or acquired neurodivergence).

INNATE: Being born with a genetic variation including but not limited to Autism, Childhood OCD, ADHD, Down syndrome, giftedness/intellecutal disability, learning differences, etc

ACQUIRED: Experiencing emotional or physical trauma (includes traumatic brain injuries, dementia, etc

When it comes to EMDR, we do not use this tool to change neurodivergence. We do use EMDR to help mitigate experiences that are distressing to ND people. EMDR can be so helpful for rejection sensitivity dysphoria, misophonia, relational trauma, internalized ableism, beliefs around executive functioning/ sensory/communication differences, and so so many more.

This. Our bodies are always trying to communicate with us. It might be saying “we are tired” or “feeling a bit stressed here”. It might also be saying “please notice that this person does not feel safe” or “we aren’t being treated fairly in this situation”. The whispers are softer and might be more subtle, but they are precursors to our bodies having to shut down or scream if they are ignored. When we can view our bodies and its communications as friendly guides to inform our choices and path in life, our travel can feel smoother and more supported.

We also recognize there can be privilege in being able to make choices to move away from something not meant for us like a toxic work environment.
