Welcome!
Our relationships often provide so many opportunities to learn about others and ourselves. They knit us into the human fabric. Look at your own family history. Can you see the relationships, the mistakes, the responses to those mistakes, the striving, the compassion through the generations? These make up your family fabric. Think of your family history as the circumstances that each generation faced, and the responses to those circumstances as the fabric.
Autism - our understanding of it is changing rapidly, and so many of us are finding insight into the mysterious, previously unidentified presence of it in our lives. Along with that insight, we're finding that there are strengths that can come with autism, as well as the challenges of finding a way to fit into a world that celebrates being neurotypical, and is set up to value neurotypical traits. Whether you are an autistic individual, neurotypical parent, sibling or partner, you are likely leading the course correction that celebrates neurodiversity. And you are in a position to contribute to a beautiful family fabric.
Anxiety - we all need a little anxiety to help us get the things done in our day that need to be done. But in the incredibly complicated world we live in, you are not alone if you feel your anxiety passed that useful level long ago. Is it time to change your relationship with your anxiety? What would your life look like if you could learn to use it in ways that only serve you?
Depression - like anxiety, depression can take up residence in our lives, and get quite comfortable there due in part to partnering with lack of hope. But there is always the possibility of discovering what made your life fertile ground for depression in the first place. Getting to the root of it can open doors to new ways of seeing your life. Of course this can be scary, but in doing the work, you can free up energy that depression steals, and use it to find what can bring actual joy to your life.
Bereavement - the pain from losing someone important to us can feel incredibly unbearable, and we might think we'll never feel ready to get excited about life again. As much as we would like to hope it's possible, we can't diminish the pain without moving through it. And when we are experiencing it, having someone who understands the process of bereavement can keep us moving forward through our grief, helping us find new ways of integrating the love we feel for this person into our life in meaningful ways.
I understand the complexities and frailties of life well, and will never judge you.
