Raw discussion with the unique and fabulous, US based autistic coach, Heather Cook.

InDialogue

On her website, Heather says she helps autistic teens and adults to get more comfortable with themselves and others. In this often-moving but always deeply searching and honest interview, she reveals she is much more than a coach and educator. Heather is one of a kind with a deeply rich history - an autistic professional coach with energy, prowess and a mind as sharp as razors, a registered ICF coach, trained in neuro-somatic mindfulness, interoception, embodiment and trauma awareness. Hear Heather's personal story including about the rawness of a troubled youth and deep depression, life on the US roads in a self-converted van, the profound wisdom of the chrysalis, and what went down for five years at the USA's only Socratic Dialogue college. Hear how her life experience, in being brought with rawness and integrity into service in the field, is enabling many others to learn deeply about themselves too. You'll be glad you listened to this far-reaching conversation at Dialogue Village. http://www.autismchrysalis.com Small correction: near the start of the video Heather mentions 'Autism Dialogues' as a group of autistic adults - this is a common small slip many people make - as the approach is all-inclusive - of non-autistic adults too - and this equity design is what the model is based upon. Heather has sat in many sessions and is aware of this fact and I know it's easy to make this small mistake. Thanks for your time, Heather! Jonny : ))
