Catherine's journey is an inspiring one, highlighting her experience as a neurodivergent individual navigating societal norms and her drive to find true connection over mere acceptance.In this episode, we discuss the systemic pressures that especially impact women therapists, including the fear of not following rules and the overwhelming desire to be socially and professionally accepted.
