The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) clinical guidelines for Transgender, Non Binary, Gender Affirmative Care is out! I wrote the section on Neuro complexity. This includes plurality / OSDD / DID, schizophrenia, developmental delays, ADHD, and Autism (what I could respectfully address in 750 words, though I know it includes so much more)

I'm sharing the new training series from The Plural Association on their Plural Competency Program.

Plurality is an umbrella term that encompasses Dissociative Identity Disorder. Plurality is a term that has been embraced as a neurodiversity affirmative term for multiplicity.

It's a great starting point in a neurodiversity affirmative approach to working with DID and OSDD.

Learn how to ethically support clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder, OSDD, and other forms of Plurality. This course equips therapists, coaches, and MH professionals with inclusive, trauma-informed skills for affirming system clients—no integration agenda required.

I'm lecturing at the AAMFT Conference on November 7th. My lecture focuses on the treatment guidelines I am working on for AAMFT on transgender, non binary and gender expansive care. My specific section addresses neuro complexity. I am addressing care for ADHD, autism, developmental complexity, schizophrenia and OSDD / DID/ plurality. I hope to see you all there!

In this presentation, clinicians will learn to think of desire as a spectrum rather than an on/off switch. In our culture, we use language such as "turn on." What turns you on? What turns you off? This type of thinking is too binary and causes harm when people are learning how to improve their sexua...
