From Rupture to Repair: Healing FASD Family Dynamics with Antonia Lindsey

Living with FASD is an educational and human interest show for those living with the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, their loved one and anyone interested in learning more about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, brought to you by someone with both professional and living experience with FASD. In this episode of Living with FASD, host Patti Kasper welcomes back Antonia Lindsay, a renowned therapist and art therapist, for an in-depth discussion on navigating life with FASD. They delve into the complexities of maintaining relationships within families affected by neurodiversity, focusing on the themes of rupture, repair, and regroup. The conversation spans practical strategies for managing family dynamics, the importance of understanding different body cultures, and the power of curiosity and compassion in fostering resilience. Tune in for an enlightening and heartwarming dialogue that offers valuable insights and actionable advice for anyone impacted by FASD.   If you would like to suggest topics of the show or just to say hello, you can reach me at [email protected]. COMING SOON: The 2nd Edition of my book, Sip by Sip: Candid Conversations with People Diagnosed as Adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), will be out soon.
