Neurodivergent Masking, Individuation and Spiral of Becoming

What is this webinar about?

In this webinar we ask ...Who am I, really?

For many neurodivergent people, identity isn’t something you “return to”

…it’s something you’re discovering for the very first time.

This two-hour CPD webinar explores how traditional developmental models often miss the mark for ND individuals, especially when identity has been shaped by masking, external expectations, or chronic invalidation.

Why our approach to understanding this topic is different:

We introduce the Spiral of Becoming, a neuroaffirming reframe of Maslow’s hierarchy that recognises the non-linear, layered, and adaptive nature of neurodivergent growth.

You’ll learn:

How masking and survival adaptation disrupt identity development

Why self-actualisation is often delayed, not due to failure, but unmet needs

Tools for supporting individuation in ND teens, adults, or clients

How to foster belonging, self-trust, and authentic expression

Why growth looks like looping, and why that’s not a problem

Who is this webinar for?

Whether you’re supporting others or seeking to understand yourself more deeply, this session offers practical insight, deep validation, and a powerful new lens for neurodivergent wellbeing and identity development.
