Reframing ‘Masking’ vs. ‘Functioning’
I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole masking concept and the labels “high functioning” and “low functioning.” I am inspired to do a reframing based on a facebook post I saw. The woman in one of my groups said, “I’m ditching the term ‘high functioning.’ It’s just too limiting and doesn’t really fit where…

Prediction and Expectation
In my sessions lately, I’ve noticed these two words popping up a lot: “prediction” and “expectation.” It started when we introduced a matching game, and it’s been a real eye-opener. One of my clients wants it to be easy. He’s all about having the same number of items, same categories, and the cards with matching…
Navigating Liminal Space: Embracing Transitions with Grace
Transitions can be challenging for many of us, and during a recent session with a client, the topic of “transitions” came up. We noticed that his body seems to resist transitions, simply leaving his house is hard for his body to do and it takes bravery and effort. During a parent meeting, I was introduced…
Tending to our disappointment is a skill
In my sessions I find conduits (things to do) that create situations to work on goals and skill development. In my last post I talked about “matching” and one of my favorite conduits is, you guessed it, playing a matching game. It is so amazing to slow the game down and actively prep our bodies…
