I Must Be Masking - I Must Be BUG'N

What this episode covers

Neurodivergent people are all too familiar with masking. It's the tiring process of trying to hide who we are. I'm hoping we can move past that to live our most authentic lives.We mask because we're afraid of being hurt or abandoned. We get so fixated on the mask and getting people to accept and respect our "normalcy" that we lose sight of who we are and want to be. However, the truth is that the point at which we can let go of those expectations we give ourselves the most safety and freedom.I talk a bit about this and give some good examples. I'd love to hear your thoughts after you've taken a listen...Helpful Links:Tweet about young people not hating mathTweet thread about how to use redirection phrasesHow we should affirm children beyond saying "they're smart"Page Turner's post about letting go of the embarrassment of being humanWhat is dyscalculia?Don't forget to suscribe, SHARE and leave a review if you're enjoying the podcast...Intro and Outro music provided by byrdversion1 - "It Couldn't Be" from the album Nevermore Hosted on Acast.
