Neurodivergent Rising | Module 5:
The Science of Divergence -Nervous System Sensitivity & the Limits of the Clinical Gaze
Your Body Was Never the Problem
For so many neurodivergent people, the body has been treated as unreliable, something to manage, control, or “fix.” Module 5 turns that belief on its head, reframing our nervous systems as finely tuned instruments that carry deep intelligence.

Guided Reflections on how your body communicates its needs

In Module 5, we reclaim the body not as a site of dysfunction, but as a wise companion on the journey of living fully and authentically.
Neurodivergent Rising: Reclaiming the Truth of Difference
Neurodivergent Rising is a 9-week, live-taught learning journey that goes far beyond checklists, stereotypes, and clinical labels. Through a trauma-informed, multidisciplinary lens, we’ll explore the lived realities of neurodivergence and the cultural, historical, and systemic forces that shape how it’s understood.
Alongside a community of peers and powerful guest voices, you’ll uncover the wisdom of your own body, question the systems that demand you perform or conform, and reclaim difference as a source of intelligence and strength.
This course is for neurodivergent people, caregivers, and practitioners who want to deepen understanding, expand compassion, and imagine new possibilities for living, relating, and thriving.
Each module combines live teaching, guest sessions, guided practices, and reflection tools to help you integrate the learning into daily life — so you leave not just informed, but transformed.
With warmth, honesty, and a grounded approach, Neurodivergent Rising invites you to step into a truer way of being — not as someone broken or in need of fixing, but as a whole person rising into your own truth.
