Aim
To explore how trauma affects neurodivergent nervous systems, why they are more sensitive, and how this sensitivity connects to health, food, and safety. We will also look at links with conditions like POTS, EDS, and MCAS, and consider their impact on everyday wellbeing.
Learning Objectives
- Define trauma and describe its effects on the autonomic nervous system.
- Recognise key features of neurodivergent nervous systems, including hypersensitivity and reactivity.
- Identify common overlaps between trauma, neurodivergence, and conditions such as POTS, dysautonomia, EDS, and MCAS.
- Reflect on the links between nervous system regulation, food, and feelings of safety in neurodivergent individuals.
- Apply insights to better support neurodivergent people navigating trauma and nervous system challenges.
Who this webinar is for:
- Neurodivergent people wanting to better understand their own experiences
- Practitioners, coaches, and therapists who support neurodivergent clients
- Family members, partners, and carers seeking greater insight into nervous system sensitivity
- Anyone curious about the links between trauma, neurodivergence, and health
