Neurodivergence, Trauma, and Special Needs! Strength-Based Tips for Fostering Healthy Family Time with Expert Bri DeRosa

Neurodiversity—the idea that each person experiences and interacts with the world around them in different ways—is a truly empowering concept. When we remove labels that promote a view of the self or others that is deficit-focused and embrace a strength-based approach, we reduce bias and judgment while promoting acceptance and forward momentum. I've certainly found that there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, behaving, or communicating. The key for ourselves and others is to focus on fostering beliefs and inclusive environments that recognize and emphasize each person's individual strengths while also providing support for differences and needs. From diving into the lasting effects of childhood trauma to offering strategies that honor neurodivergence, Dr. Carla and expert Bri DeRosa focus on simple, actionable steps that lead to big changes. Personal healing and interpersonal connection naturally arise when we discover how to foster understanding, acceptance, and safety.
