While diagnosis can bring clarity, it can also trigger a wide range of emotions including grief, anger, regret about the past, and questions about identity. Together, Archie and Maddie discuss why therapy can play an important role in helping people process these emotions, make sense of their life experiences, and move forward with greater self-understanding and self-compassion.They also talk about the common concerns people bring to therapy both before and after diagnosis, the psychological impact of discovering you may be neurodivergent later in life, and why post-diagnosis support is so important.Guest: Maddie PatchettPsychodynamic Psychotherapist (BACP Registered)Visit: www.maddiepatchett.co.ukwww.themindfulclinic.co.ukEmail: [email protected]
