Neurodivergence
What it can feel like, how it shows up in your day-to-day life, what therapy can offer, and a different way forward.

You may feel like you’re moving through a world not designed for you — always adapting, masking, or trying to “fit in.” That constant effort can feel exhausting, and sometimes lonely.
Why it can happen
Challenges often come from living in environments that don’t accommodate different ways of thinking or processing. Stigma and lack of understanding can add to the struggle, leaving people feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
How it shows up day-to-day
This might weave into daily life through things like:
Struggling with sensory overload
Needing more time or space to process
Feeling misunderstood in relationships or work
Hiding parts of yourself to feel safe
What therapy can offer
Therapy can offer understanding and validation rather than pressure to “fix.” Together, we might:
Explore strengths alongside challenges
Create strategies that work with your brain
Unpack masking and its toll
Build pride and self-acceptance
A different way forward
Being neurodivergent doesn’t mean being broken. It can mean embracing unique strengths and ways of being that deserve to be honoured.
