Neurofriendly Language - Digital Download
Have you ever had that moment of realizing that when people say things like "Do your best" they don't actually mean "try as hard as physically possible and beat your own personal record". Or that "I love a challenge" doesn't actually mean "I don't mind suffering and burning myself out".
Neurodivergent folks can often take words and phrases as being exceptionally literal, or encode meaning based on where we first heard the words being used.
This workbook gives you a framework to reconsider the language that you struggle with the most, unpacking where you heard things, and whether those definitions and interpretations are still serving you.
L shared this about the guide:
"I didn't realize how much impact the origin of the words I was using had on me until I started to examine it!! I didn't know that that when people talked about Success they all had different definitions, or that I could set my own. I didn't realize how angry I would feel when people told me focus until I realized it was used to punish me at school.
Being able to figure this out helped me let go of so much shame!"
