<p>The Actualising Woman is an empowering space for late-diagnosed autistic (ASD) + ADHD women to navigate unmasking, rebuild identity, and learn how to set healthy boundaries, and develop self-acceptance and self-advocacy, through guidance, validation and encouragement 🌱 <br>As a counselling psychotherapist, diagnosed at 58 with AuDHD, I share a raw, honest account of my own unmasking, autistic burnout and breakdown, and the subsequent rebuilding of my identity, while planning a neurodivergent - friendly life abroad. (France or Italy, I haven't decided yet!) </p><p><br></p><p>I talk about how I'm attempting to find the right environment in which I can thrive and reach my full potential, and for once, after decades of highly masking (to my detriment) learn to accept myself for who I am as a congruent, neurodivergent, UNMASKED woman 🌸🌱</p><p><br></p><p>I am inspired by Carl Rogers' Theory of Actualisation (the king of person-centred therapy) and also his daughter Natalie Rogers; herself
