I am speechless. I am grieving. The world feels so heavy right now. All I can do is sing. All I can do is fight through small moments of resistance through art. I don't have many words right now. So I hope at least through song, I can communicate what I'm feeling. This is all I've got in me right now, while I maintain the work I do.

Part of the work that I do as an Audhd clinical psychologist that works with partnerships and relational intimacy as my lil bread n butter 🧈, is helping people to understand their own coping mechanisms. Often, when people come to therapy, it is important to get an idea of our own individual coping styles FIRST before we move into coping within partnership. Relational healing requires self-knowledge about how you operate in contexts with people you are in relationship with (regardless of which form of relationship). Conflict management starts to become healthier, safer and clearer when people have an idea of their own individual needs, wants, activation points or triggers, and regulation tools.

I want to acknowledge that this post was largely made from the influence and amazing perspective of .cypher who provided valuable insights surrounding inner witnessing, self abandonment and self-trust. That video did something internally to me (and I reposted as such but happy to link if anyone wants to watch it).

In light of this, I am coming from the perspective of recognising this as a recurrent theme over the last few weeks (I actually recorded this last week and just forgot to post it) and felt called to share my own thoughts on this, with respect to Autistic ADHD individuals who more often than not, have experienced difficulties with self-trust.
What I do notice as well, is that whenever we outsource other people to confirm our beliefs (or deny them), we rupture a moment of trust within ourselves to be adequate enough to make a choice of our own volition. By proxy, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to build more moments for self trust when we erase it through needing others. There is nothing wrong with seeking validation, just as a reminder. It is just important we practice building moments and opportunities to learn about ourselves through ourselves too.

please note: this is generic advice and information, which stemmed largely from inspiration that was driven by Justin Scott, a tiktok user who engages in dialogue passionately and thoughtfully. If you require personalised support, please consult an individualised clinician.

I'm now up to my gestures and greetings module and it's fantastic! But I'm finding it to be really challenging as an Autistic person who does not often integrate my gestures and eye contact conveniently. It simultaneously slows down my thought process because often my body is not as quick as my processing speed, so it actually slows me down in a way that I believe allows me to consider what word choices I am seeking to use. I love it too, and have found it the easiest language to grasp so far (Duolingo currently has spent all it's time threatening me for not learning beyond the very basic intros for German and Italian which I dropped off last year).

Anyway, what signs do you think could be helpful to learn?

Was on my lunch break, so what better to be doing than creating a video on the spot with five nice compliments you may want to give your Autistic or ADHD partner that are not related to their physicality at all!? because sometimes it's nice to get brain compliments 🥳✨

I'm also just having a huge PDA response to my content creation right now, and feeling overwhelmed (from my own self pressure) to draw from my list of ideas and actually create something. So for now, it's on the fly hacks, tips and generalisable shares that absolutely do not ever replace individualised support from allied health clinicians.

Thanks for watching ✨

This year is my first year at swimming Laps for life which is a ReachOut program to support young people and mental health. Really excited because it incorporates both swimming and supporting a great cause. If you felt like donating (and have the means to do so) peep the link, or you can even read my progress as I go anyway ✨

You also do not need to donate! You can participate, encourage others or do something closer to your heart too. I've just been swimming now for a few months and thought it would be a great way to give back while doing something I love.

Just wanting to share something I'm learning in my personal time, because I am very excited about it and for the utility of it within client sessions too for providing more disability inclusive practice. I'm still in very very early phases but I was even practicing this yesterday when I had the spoons available. It's early days but I'm hoping I am able to support couples and partnerships with connecting together, in a way that supports their relative support, communication and access needs. Woohoo! Plus it's always lovely learning outside of my Autism and ADHD specific disability space.

Credit to who made a post earlier on empathic disequilibrium, which also prompted a similar line of thought for me, surrounding the more generalised concept of assumptions we tend to make about the Autistic community.

We have variations and differences across our neurotype presentations, which in turn means that we cannot "all or nothing" our way to assuming traits have to be there or not.
One Autistic is very different from another.

A small but valuable tool that I find to be helpful when working with couples, is reminding them that there is usually something deeper within conflict that's at play within partnerships. When there's conflict, usually there's an activation. An echo or a memory of a memory from a time (from an old relationship, a traumatic event, a childhood association or something to this effect) where we have built an association to hurt, and haven't been met with the attunement our nervous systems needed. All humans experience this (because rupture is inevitable). However, when this happens, we see it show up in conflict that comes up whether from our partner directly, or this echoed activation hits a core belief or wound we hold. It can be incredibly valuable to take a step back in these moments (note: this is really hard and takes a lot of practice) to remind ourselves to not personalise what we are seeing and hearing in front of us.

please note: this is generalised advice and information. please ensure you speak with an allied health clinician for more individualised support.

Don't mind the absolute millennial pause moment I have, as well as the fact that I lost my point as soon as I said it (you have to know that I do not actually prepare a script to go off, I have a general theme and then record several times to try to speak my point lol)
Often we forget to say the validation piece first and can rush into problem solving as the default. There is nothing wrong with this method, however it is important to externalise the inner world we are experiencing to help our loved ones with accessing the support they need. Just because we think it's helpful, does not mean it is the need of our partners or loved ones.
Quick hack: Asking if someone wants to have a soundboard, a validator/cheerleader or needs a problem solver/solution focused response, can be a great way to offer an explicit cue of connection and to get it right, before assuming and getting it wrong unintentionally.
Practice makes perfect and even I get this one wrong sometimes! It's okay - this is where we hold space for errors and we practice integration of our learned skills.

please note: this is generalised advice and does not replace personalised guidance and individualised support from an allied health clinician.

A frequent topic of conversation that I do see coming up within couple conflicts across both personal and therapeutic room contexts, is feeling misunderstood surrounding the specific use of language that comes up. It can be really helpful to contextualise these experiences for yourself, to evaluate whether or not you are actually being misunderstood. 

1. are there good intentions? 

2. does your person actually understand the gist of what you are saying?

3. does your person have the ability to reflect back to you a grasping of what you have articulated? (even if it isn't in your specific wording). 

If so, loosening your grip on the semantics might be a helpful permission slip to reduce some of the conflict. There is a very clear difference between being misunderstood intentionally, being misunderstood unintentionally, or being understood in a way that differs from your language use. 

please note: this is generic advice and does not replace the support or provision of therapeutic care. Please always consult with an allied health clinician for your individual circumstances.

A beautiful moment of catharsis that I was able to step into today. "We need to live truthfully, moment-to-moment, in the given circumstances of the piece (or context)" were some wise words that were shared with me over the weekend at an acting workshop. These words were particularly profound and potent reminders to stop interrogating the timeline. This empty waiting space that can sometimes consume us isn't actually empty, it's an assembling. The liminal space does not require more effort but requires inner stability where we can hold the frequency of discomfort without collapsing under the weight of it. If you can't tolerate the pause, you can't hold the outcome. So leaning into waiting, without effort is all we can do. Today, I went for a walk after work and shared some of my stuff to the creek and trees. I also had my own therapy session (because let's be real nature/spiritual connection + evidence based practice/psychology as a combo is yummy as all heck).
Sometimes change is inevitable. Learning to distinguish between uncertainty and unclarity have been recent lessons. Uncertainty holds the outcome with the parameters. Unclarity is mixed signals or misalignment of truths. Today, I committed to self-closure and the collapse of multiple endings across my working life and personal life. As an Audhder, surrender is hard. But there is liberation in the unknown. And today, the trees and the creek both held expansive space for grief, connectedness, gratitude, collapse, and reflection. And finally, I began reading my book 'The genius of trees' by Harriet Rix. Very excited for this read.
