Learning Objectives:
After completing this workshop in its entirety, you will be able to:
Describe how questioning and disrupting normativity (neurotypicality, colonization, white supremacy, cis-heteronormativity, and other systems of oppression) in the counseling space allows us to better center and honor the wholeness of our clients
Identify the importance of tending to transitions, both within and outside the counseling space
Explore how ritual and honoring of the sacred support a whole-person approach to care and can help reduce counselor burnout
Discuss how joy is an important form of resistance to oppression and is essential to ND affirming approaches.
Workshop Description:
The field of psychology has historically pathologized Neurodivergent (ND) people and failed to see their innate health and wisdom. Nyck Walsh’s model, Neurodivergent Somatics, provides clinicians with a concrete framework for providing ND-affirming care that is anti-ableist, somatic, collaborative, and trauma-informed. In Part 3 of this training, we will play with how questioning and dismantling normativity in the therapy room, particularly neurotypicality, colonization, white supremacy, and cis-heteronormativity, allows us to more authentically center, honor, support, and even celebrate our clients and ourselves. This will include some of the logistical and practical elements of being a therapist, whether in private practice, an agency, or other settings. In doing so, we all have more permission to be human and to be our own unique selves, no matter what our neurotype(s).
We will delve into how we transition and how we are supported in our work through ritual and the sacred. This is in service to reducing burnout and honoring wholeness. We will end with a focus on joy for both our clients and ourselves, leaning into joy as a potent act of resistance in the face of oppression and a vital source of energizing our life force.
