Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Neurodivergence

Most of my clients have been to therapy before. Many have tried therapy several times over their life, but they never felt it was that helpful or they found it difficult to find a therapist who was a good fit. There are plenty of reasons why this might be the case, and this post aims to explore one of the main offenders: a very common type of therapy practiced is CBT, and using CBT alone may not be a great choice for neurodivergent brains. 

While talk therapy has proven to be an effective tool for countless people, it's important to recognize that one size does not fit all, especially regarding neurodivergent individuals. A skilled and competent therapist possesses the expertise to accurately determine the most appropriate therapy approach for each client, considering their unique goals and individual capabilities.
