A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach to Treat Autism-Related Trauma

Location: Online (Instant Access)

(Recorded Workshop from PESI 2024 Innovations in Psychotherapy Conference)

Topic:

You may have clients who have difficulty reading social cues, fearing they’ll say or do the wrong thing or be called “weird”. They face biases and discrimination for thinking and behaving in ways that diverge from societal norms and expectations. Constantly feeling the threat of being found out as “different”, they try to mask who they are to avoid humiliation, social rejection, and worse. These experiences and their emotional toll describe autism-related trauma. This form of trauma often goes unrecognized and untreated. In this workshop, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to work more effectively with trauma experienced by your autistic clients. You’ll gain confidence in your ability to:

  • Identify unique trauma risk factors for autistic individuals
  • Implement trauma interventions that are neurodiversity-informed
  • Apply neuro-affirming principles and approaches
