What if the reason you feel different is because you Are different? And what if that’s not a bad thing?

If you have had trouble fitting in with other people your whole life, you could be part of the 15% of the population that is neurodivergent.

Picture this: You’re at a party or just hanging out with some new friends. Everything feels like it’s going great, and then, gradually, their attitudes toward you become a little colder, more distant, maybe even defensive.

You wonder if you’ve offended them but you have no idea how. You replay the conversation over again in your head, but you can’t pin down what went wrong and you have no idea how to fix it.

You start kicking yourself for that one comment you made…You’ll lose sleep fixating on it all night.

Sound familiar? Whether it’s because of the impulsivity of ADHD or the social misunderstandings of Autism Level 1, this kind of problem can cause anxiety, isolation, and distress, and make life very hard!

Imagine being able to vibe with any moment because you’ve mastered balancing emotion and attention.

 

Believe it or not, you can. You might feel like your brain is “a Ferrari engine with bicycle brakes” (Hallowell, 2021), but I’m a brakes specialist. I will teach you how to regain control over the throttle and begin steering clear of the ditches! You will grow in your ability to listen well during important times with key people, and it will make an incredible difference for you!

A trusted guide back to the present moment.

 

My name is Martin Altman, LPC, and I’ve been helping creative people find solutions to their unique difficulties since 2011. I have a front-row seat to neurodivergence, because —Spoiler Alert— I have well-managed ADHD myself.
