Dr. Seigel said in his CD-course "The Neurobiology of We"

When he speaks in front of health practitioners, he asks them all the same question, “How many of you have spent more than one hour studying what is right with the brain?" Out of a total of 7500 practitioners, three to five percent usually raise their hands. The rest focus on what is wrong with the brain.

Dr. Seigel says the typical psychology doctrine taught in universities is primarily aimed at what is wrong with the brain. And if we’re looking hard and long enough, we will find something. As the professional therapists have done with me.

Before the ASD diagnosis, as you just read, I had been told my challenges with isolation, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, abuse, alcoholism, unwanted habits and behaviors – and the excruciating sense of loneliness – was due to PTSD from old trauma. This can still be true! 

What I have learned from my alternative doctor is to not allow any labels to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s a dangerous trap to allow a diagnosis to become an identity. I have learned to look at all the labels that the “experts” have given me as a result of my “conditioned behaviors,” and I have been fortunate to find my way out of these behaviors.

That is what I offer to you: A way out of your imprisoned behaviors to experience the wonderful feeling of being Free! Free from the emotional and mental straitjacket and Free to feel Alive!

Throughout all these years and diagnoses, I have also been going to an alternative doctor, who does not look at me through the lenses of diagnoses but sees me as a full human being with emotional and mental pain from unresolved trauma.

Many of the ‘identifying symptoms’ for all these diagnoses are now healed. Not because of diagnosis, medication, or even talk therapy. But because of alternative medicine, somatic nervous system release, and emotional resolution. Here is where I have been seen and heard and given a space to heal.

And this is what I offer you, a space to be heard and seen, and heal!

Since the diagnosis, I have had clear insight into the world of recovery while still feeling an overwhelming sense of isolation, separateness, and that weird feeling of not belonging.

I have become an expert on how to develop self-respect, self-acceptance, and self-love, with social ease and comfort in the world, and in the world of Autism.

In addition, I have been free from drugs, alcohol, and mood-altering drugs for more than 30 years.

Because of my diagnosis and my experience in recovery, I now have a keen understanding of how it feels to be clean and sober…and still not fit in…because of Social Blindness, PTS, and maybe even Autism...who truly knows? 

What is more important is that my life is working, and I have developed the Clarity to know what I want, the Confidence to know I am good at what I do, and the Courage to BE...ME!

Life is good and I would love to help and support you to create a life that feels good for You!

Also, worth mentioning is that we can also call this condition “Neurodiversity.”

The National Symposium on Neurodiversity at Syracuse University says: “Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. These differences can include those labeled with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, and others.”
