Unmasked: Moving from Moral Injury to Self Alignment

Unmasked: From Moral Injury to Self-Alignment in High Masking ADHD’ers and Autistics

Format: 60 minute presentation + downloadable materials
Audience: Therapists, educators, and mental health professionals

For many neurodivergent people, masking is a lifelong survival response shaped by environments that couldn’t hold difference.

This 60-minute presentation is a deeply affirming, trauma-informed training designed to help clinicians recognize the emotional cost of masking in ADHD and autism—and learn how to support clients in healing through relational safety, identity reclamation, and flow-based interventions.

You’ll walk away with the tools, visuals, and language to support clients with more compassion, clarity, and confidence.
