Neurodivergent Couples and Family Therapy
The Story I’m Telling Myself Is…
Your stomach drops. Oh no. There it is. That dreaded text: I need to talk to you.
Your heart feels like it’s crashing through your chest. Immediately your brain starts to spin a familiar story: I knew it. I should have known it was too good to be true. God, I’m such an idiot. I fucked up another good thing.
Your thoughts are a runaway train and your brain has an infinite track. Before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself of the latest catastrophic ending in a path of bumpy relationships. Turns out your partner actually wanted to talk about a completely different thing? Doesn’t matter. The story has been told, it feels real, and that’s good enough for your brain. Thanks brain, real helpful.
We all tell ourselves stories.
It’s tricky when our mind is so good at telling stories, we get confused and believe it’s fact. Hand-on-heart, scouts honor, the real deal. In relational therapy with Tee Koro (they/them), we’ll look closer at those stories and figure out:
Why your brain tells those particular stories
How to tell if they’re true
How to express yourself in intense moments
How to work with your brain instead of against it
Therapy with Tee is a place to:
Identify those snap-second thoughts
Get curious about beliefs and hopes underneath
Create a new way to notice and interact with your inner world
Catch yourself quicker when your brain starts to spin stories
In relational therapy, we work on all of those in the moment; with Tee, you, and your partner(s). This approach centers attachment and identifying unmet needs, and can be used with any relationship structure with at least two people. Not sure if your relationship “counts”?
