Neurodiversity & Demand avoidance

Jan 19 (edited) • Mini Talks

Gabor Maté in his book Scattered Minds: the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder talks about how environmental factors like collective trauma can impact our wiring. I agree with his theory and explain how and why in this minitalk where I got dysregulated while snowplowing. The key is to create a lot of kindness/empathy around your distress and to regulate to complete the task, which builds the confidence. Avoidance perpetuates the cycle of harm bc it feeds into the old belief.

For you, notice what comes up in you and feel free to comment here on how it lands. Use your discretion and care if you share about your own history.

See you all Tue from 9:45-11am EST for Cycle Breakers.
