In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bowen Tyler Marshall, a licensed psychotherapist, PhD, and author specializing in ADHD, autism, relationships, and trauma - for a conversation I've been excited to have for MONTHS. If you're eager to discuss the challenges of neurodivergent relationships, THIS IS YOUR EPISODE. We dig into the science of late diagnosis, why so many people get completely missed by traditional frameworks, and how neurodivergent traits that look like rejection or emotional unavailability are actually nervous system responses being misread as character flaws. We even discuss something that might need me to hold a few hands...when healing and growing into who you actually are, not everyone in your life can make that journey with you. This one is for the late diagnosed, the ones who always felt like something was off, and everyone doing the work to live authentically and have healthy, fulfilling relationships.
