This is a thing! An absolute thing.
It can be really common to feel high levels of daily fatigue with ADHD, AuADHD and Autism.
Burnout is a whole other level of exhaustion, fatigue, inertia, collapse…an inability to function or even think.
There is so much processing, and managing, happening for people with ADHD, AuADHD or Autism. …
Sensory overload….scanning to understand expectations of those around them….fast paced thoughts…racing mind….
Then potentially a constant internal questioning, quizzing, criticising…..
Plus all the planning and preempting or crisis managing…
So quite a lot is happening all the time in neurodivergent brain….it’s really not a surprise that burnout happens.
Counselling can help people with ADHD, AuADHD and Autism
Counselling can be breathing space, a chance to gain perspective, to stop (even for a minute ot two!)
Counselling may build confidence and a sense of self, an understanding of the values that are important to the individual.
Having a chance to step out of life can help those with ADHD, AuADHD and Autism. It may slow down the speeding brain.
Processing and gaining insight into the difficulties that we face in life can provide a sense of security.
All these aspects of counselling may help a neurodivergent person identify and recognise the signs of burn out.
Counselling may help manage the fallout of a ADHD, AuADHD or Autistic burnout.
If you are in the Exeter area I offer face to face sessions in a cabin at my home. I’m in Exwick, on the west side of Exeter. It is a 15 minute walk from Exeter St. David’s train station.
If you don’t live in, or near, Exeter then I offer online sessions.
