Thrive Autism Coaching
Description:
Neurodivergent Adult Coaching
Living in a world designed for neurotypicals with a neurodivergent brain is challenging, and it is often difficult to reach your full potential. I understand your challenges and see your strengths. In coaching, we collaborate to create a step-by-step plan for achieving your goals, breaking down big ideas into eight-week challenges for you to work toward. Sometimes we need to work for a few sessions on figuring out what your goals are.
In addition to very practical skill-building, we will work on self-awareness, self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy so you can apply these in a variety of situations to increase your quality of life. With coaching, my clients have reported an improvement in self-confidence, increased understanding of themselves, increased self-compassion, getting clear about their goals and ambitions, feeling more connected to those around them, and lowered stress levels. My coaching sessions are conveniently conducted via Zoom from the comfort of your home.
My coaching might be a fit for you if you struggle with:
- Getting things done that you want to get done
- Figuring out where to start to make the changes you are looking for
- Recovering from burnout
- Anxiety in social situations around small talk or expectations
- Making and maintaining friends and romantic relationships
- Unemployment, underemployment, or negative performance reviews at work
- Feeling constantly frustrated by things that other people seem to know intuitively
- Organization or accomplishing tasks needed for success with work, school, or independent living
- Trying to fit in socially, which causes you exhaustion and burnout
- Being told that you are emotionally out of tune or lacking empathy, but you know this is not true
- Understanding other people’s points of view, leading to regular conflict
- Managing your money or budgeting
- Understanding neurotypicals
Parents of Autistic Adults Coaching
Parents of autistic adults worry as much about their adult kids as parents of younger kids. These are the most common questions I hear:
- What will happen to them when I’m gone?
- How do I get her out of her bedroom?
- How do I get him off video games?
- How do I get him to access education or find a job?
- How can I help them build a social life?
- My son knows he has Asperger’s but doesn’t accept the diagnosis. How do I get him to ask for help?
- Our adult child no longer communicates with us. He is completely shut down and we are worried we will lose him.
There is plenty of reason for hope, though. I can help you figure out how to connect with your adult child and talk with them in a way that doesn’t trigger defensiveness while making them feel unconditionally supported. Creating a soft landing pad for them like this for when things don’t go their way results in more cooperation and less conflict and helps them get unstuck and move forward in life! My coaching sessions are conveniently conducted via Zoom from the comfort of your home.
