S1 E11: An indirect exploration of Jungian Sandplay

01/21/24 • 53 min

Leo enquires about Jungian Sandplay, a therapeutic modality Siana offers in her therapy practice. We explore Siana's demand avoidance about the prospect of speaking about this and then eventually get there in a perfectly autistic way.

This is a lovely illustration of "Takiwatanga" which we happened to post about on our Facebook feed this week. Takiwatanga is the Maori word for autism which translates as "in their own time and space".

S1 E10: Getting It 'Right'

In this episode we explore the centrality of the core value of justice for many autistic people.

We discuss the impacts on us when things aren't "right" or fair, the tenacity needed to address these and the toll this takes on us.

We then tentatively begin to explore some particular ways in which our social experiences correlate with theory around masking, fawning and appeasement.

S1 E12: Spoonies!

In this episode we explore the finite nature of personal energy and capacity. We refer to our own experiences and to wider "spoon theory".

The pace of this conversation is slow and relaxed; it's basically two autistic people hanging out together. If that's your vibe, we'd love you to join us 🧡💛
