88 Gifted Development & Positive Disintegration with Chris Wells 58:58

12天之前58:58

58:58

Dr Chris Wells speaks & teaches about positive disintegration, Dabrowski's theory that (among other things) provides an alternate explanation for some mental illness. While the theory is not entirely about giftedness, it helps many gifted people make sense of their experiences. Dr Wells also talks about their journey, which included being on disability for many years. It's a reminder that while labels can change, they can also hold an enormous amount of power!

87 Giftedness & the Sparkly Mind with Sheldon Gay 1:09:12

Sheldon Gay shares about giftedness, in particular the intersections of being late-identified as a Black man. He hosts the I Must Be BUG'N podcast (Black, Underrepresented/Unidentified, Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent). I absolutely love his term of having a sparkly mind! We weave through many topics, including education and melanated & marginalized kids not having their needs met. This is the first of 5-6 upcoming episodes on gifted neurodivergent experiences. p.s. that "or, but anyway" that I didn't finish was that people experience my intensity as seeming like mental illness. Mentioned in episode & connect with Sheldon: Sheldon's website I Must Be BUG'N podcast Our Wild Minds (community for Black gifted adults) Dr. Joy Lawson Davis is a friend & mentor whom Sheldon would like to mention & point toward her website for her work with Black/BIPOC gifted advocacy: https://drjoylawsondavis.com/ Living With Intensity book (affiliate link) Resources: Transcript Doc Email Newsletter Like Your Brain community space (Patreon) Hosted on Acast.

Intrusive Thoughts & AuDHD 14:28

5 weeks之前14:28

14:28

Mini episode on my experience with intrusive thoughts and how/when they stopped being distressing. Monotropic brains tend toward thought loops and thus can make intrusive thoughts pretty easily. In my case, I think my brain was in part trying to generate interest when my needs were not being met. Dopamine is also a learning chemical that tells the brain to pay attention right now. This is just my experience... Please seek professional help if you're having distressing intrusive thoughts!

As I describe at the beginning, this goes along with episode 83 about AI & tech tools. The latter 15m of this episode was an AI "podcast conversation" based on AuDHD Flourishing principles and my overall work and approach. I was impressed by how it was pulled together, as well as pronouncing my name & getting pronouns right! Note: if you have misophonia, you may find the AI vocal artifacts irritating... heads up!

It's okay to have strong feelings about AI! Yes, we touch on ethics in this episode. It's also okay to use accommodations and tools that work for you, especially in the short term to feel better first. This episode covers a number of AI and tech tools suggested by other AuDHDers.

8 weeks之前1:03:36

1:03:36

Emily is a science writer, AuDHDer, and ND-affirming coach. They share online about neurodivergence topics and accuracy in science journalism as The Neurodivergent Well. In this episode, we talk about best practices as a consumer of science info online, especially via social media. If you don't have time or capacity to read journal articles, what CAN you do? Emily shares multiple approaches to being a better online citizen when we take in and share information. There's also a lovely bit about the complexity of identity, and whether the labels we use are accurate and useful. p.s.

81 When the Body Simply Cannot 30:28

30:28

This week I pushed my body way too far, even though I was having trouble parsing that in the moment. The story is also a great analogy for how other ND internal needs feel (including PDA). Even with all the info, self-kindness, and support, I still struggle to find that exact line of capacity. It's okay that it's hard to figure out!

Is this the year to give up on neurotypical and ableist nonsense that is causing you harm?? I hope so, for all of us. There are so many layers to unraveling internalized ableism.

It's okay if your sleep and energy vary wildly during the seasons! Or at least... it's okay with me ;) Obviously there can be real world effects to having a chronotype outside of the 9-5. But if your body is going to make you rest anyway... may as well enjoy it and get the most out of it, in my opinion!

78 Healing Relational Trauma 34:48

12 weeks之前34:48

34:48

This is the follow-up episode to deepen ideas in the interview with Danielle Aubin last week on Autistic Therapy. Especially focused on this idea of relational trauma, and relational healing that addresses it. In my experience, relational healing ends up being woven throughout all other healing. Or, sometimes it's the "boss battle" to put what I've integrated into practice. Because emotional regulation during conflict with someone you care about is a whole new level! While I didn't use the words "community model of healing" or "relational healing" when I was starting the Like Your Brain community over a year ago, they were certainly on my mind. More on that in the episode as well. There are so many layers to relational healing. Wherever you're at with it is totally fine! And there are many ways to approach it. Animals are also a lovely way to experience relational healing. My first cat cured like 60% of my relational trauma <3 Resources: Transcript Doc Email Newsletter Like Your Brain community space Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
