The Helpers Can Have Help, Too.
Confidential Discovery Calls
for brave, vulnerable and / or questioning PhD’s, MD’s, OT’s, SLP’s
falling through the cracks.
Are you someone who
studied,
passed the tests,
got the license, job.
…with
a big
heart,
knowledge, skills
— but are overwhelmed, shutdown
in a system that’s oppressive AF.
…who
is “Autism knowledgeable” or “PDA affirming” (or not, yet)
but suffering the institutional trauma of being assigned and / or paid to ‘help’
while conscious of harmful systemic discrepancies.
One therapist described is as:
“Winging it with my Autistic clients”.
Like many, maybe you’re
isolated — colleagues,
staff, family.
Holding this alone.
Masking your feelings while
legitimate concerns
bubble, escalate
…But never get taken care of.
This is an excrutiating energetic polarity, and
you deserve better.
…
What if I told you:
You’re not alone.
(You’re not.)
What if I told you:
Your let-down, shutdown,
anger (—> rage)
are heart-centered responses that need holding, nurturing, releasing with someone possibly unexpectedly qualified.
(They are.)
What if I told you
that PDA and Autism are template-, form-changing calls.
(They are.)
Your guide would be someone who couldn’t survive a practice like yours (see: my therapy resume).
How brave would it be for us to break the cycle
and take these conversations off
industrial & institutional tracks
as a game-changing step.
This is work of our time.
Whether you embody Autistic and / or PDA bodyminds or not — their frameworks
will change your practice,
and reconnect you to your voice and passion for your work.

Release, Discover, Strategize
Awaken your personal and industry voice
Identify and strategize for well-intentioned therapy-practice pitfalls that have (frankly) devastating consequences
PDA & Autism are the call.
