104. Can Therapists Be Neurodivergent?
Manage episode 432560507 series 3393088
Tune in this week as Bradley shares his journey of being diagnosed with ADHD and autism while pursuing a career as a therapist. He initially questioned whether he could be a therapist with autism, but with the support of his therapist and program, he took a break to focus on his healing and growth. Bradley emphasizes the importance of understanding and supporting neurodivergent individuals in therapy, and the need for more awareness and resources in the field. He also shares about how to find a balance between acknowledging a diagnosis but not letting it define you, and recognizing that disability does not mean inability.
