    I am beyond excited today to be joined by the fellow counsellor, trainer and author of the book Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy - Rethinking Approaches for Autistic and ADHD Clients. In this episode we explore topics around working with neurodivergent clients, how to avoid burnout as a neurodivergent therapist, thoughts around language and much more.
