Relationship Issues in Therapy with Neurodivergent People

Title of Event: Relationship Issues in Therapy with Neurodivergent People

Description of Event: Interpersonal relationship issues are among the most common problems encountered in outpatient therapy. Even if the client enters with a different initial concern, the content of individual psychotherapy frequently gravitates toward this topic. The therapist should be equipped to address or redirect this material to ensure the client’s goals remain the guiding principle of the sessions.
With clients who are neurodivergent or who have neurodivergent family members, a thorough understanding of the effects of neurodivergence on relationships is necessary to reinforce the therapeutic alliance and supports clients’ perspective-taking. Working with couples, chosen family or other relationship configurations frequently demands knowledge of neurodivergence to adapt and accommodate the therapeutic approach for client needs.
This program is part of the a the larger Neurodiversity Competency Training Program- Intermediate Level Micro-Credential. Programs can be attended as single sessions or part of the full program. CEs are issued for individual sessions with the Micro-Credential issued upon completion of all programs.
