Working with Neurodiversity
I started working with individuals with Neurodiverse conditions in 2017, in an Associate Coach role for Genius Within.
Within that role I supported clients within their workplace to:
- Find practical solutions to challenges and recognise and play to their strengths. For example:
- If their memory worked best when they were recalling meaningful events, supporting them to practice remembering tasks they found less interesting by mapping them to meaningful events to remember them.
- If they struggled to process verbal or written information, supporting them to use their visual or kinaesthetic strengths (if they had been identified as strengths) to create more effective ways of them processing information.
- Raise awareness of what triggered them into a stress response in order to set healthy boundaries and be able to work at their best and identify their optimal way of working.
- Identify limiting beliefs, narratives or stories which they had learned to believe about themselves which were potentially stopping them working at their best. Support them to identify ways of ‘gathering evidence’ to create more empowering beliefs and, subsequently, more helpful behaviours.
I continue to work with many individuals with Neurodiverse conditions in my Transformational Coaching role and within my role as an Equine Facilitated Coach.
Whilst I prefer to coach the individual rather than focus on a Neurodiverse label, the issues we often work with, which involve working with the unconscious mind, are:
- Limiting beliefs about themselves which stop them being the happiest and healthiest version of themselves.
- Fear of being fully present and grounded (and feeling and releasing emotion)..
- Self-acceptance; not liking and accepting themselves due to false, limiting beliefs they’ve taken on as their truth leading to avoidance of ‘Self’.
- Being disconnected from their bodies and, therefore, not being able to connect with what feels right for them (their truth) and make life choices to meet their needs.
