Are You Looking For Support?
Neurodivergent professionals often sense that something needs to shift in order to feel more balanced and thrive in their careers or personal lives. Challenges may present in different ways, such as keeping up with deadlines, arriving on time, deciding which project should take priority, or navigating complex workplace dynamics. These experiences can sometimes lead to feelings of shame or worry that being open about your struggles could affect your career.
For some, professional life may feel manageable while personal or social relationships feel more difficult. It can be especially painful when those closest to you don’t seem to understand your experiences. What feels simple for others may feel overwhelming or almost impossible for you, which can feel isolating. Noticing how these issues affect you, can be the first step toward creating change.
Understanding Your Experience
As a neurodivergent professional you may be dealing with:
✓ Struggle with navigating and managing teams or participating effectively as a team member
✓ Difficulty understanding and responding effectively to the internal politics of your organization
✓ Difficulty setting limits with how much work you take on, or when you are available for work
✓ Difficulty balancing work with family or loved ones
✓ Burnout and fatigue
✓ Performance anxiety or feeling like an impostor
✓ Procrastination and avoidance
✓ Underestimate the time it takes to complete a project and rush at the last minute
✓ Comparing yourself to others, it seems so simple for them but nearly impossible for you
What Can you Do?
Working with a neurodiversity-affirming therapist who understands the experiences of neurodivergent professionals can help you build on your strengths and navigate challenges in ways that honor your unique perspective.
