The Importance of Recognizing Neurodiversity in Clinical Practice

The podcast hosts, Monique and Michelle, share their personal motivations for creating a podcast that focuses on neurodivergent women. They explain how their work in clinical practice, specifically with clients who are neurodivergent, led them to realize the importance of recognizing and addressing neurodiversity in therapy. Monique discusses her own journey of discovering her neurodivergent identity and how it propelled her desire to share this information with the world. Michelle, on the other hand, highlights the lack of emphasis on neurodiversity in her training and the transformative impact of understanding neurodivergent experiences in therapy. Both hosts underscore the significance of shedding light on neurodiversity in women, as they often go unrecognized and face unique challenges in navigating a neurotypical society.
