Neurodivergent Somatics in Therapy

Focusing on autism and ADH* through an anti-oppressive, intersectional lens that is honest, heartfelt, bold, and gentle, author Nyck Walsh takes readers on a journey into a new standard of care for neurodivergent (ND) clients and their therapists. Here readers will find a ND affirming reading experience that simultaneously honors their neurotype (whether ND or neurotypical), their humanity, and their sacred role as counselor. Whether new to or well-versed in the neurodiversity paradigm, readers will learn how to best support their ND clients in a way that prioritizes their well-being, honors their self-expertise, encourages their anti-ableist embodiment, and celebrates their joy. Bridging the theoretical with the practical, Walsh's model offers a tangible framework that can be applied on its own or in tandem with other modalities. Neurodivergent Somatics in Therapy is an intimate and engaging guide to providing accessible, liberatory, whole-person care that will benefit clients of all neurotypes.
