Unmasking:
a group for late-diagnosed and self-identifying neurodivergent women
Have you spent most of your life wondering why things felt harder for you than they seemed for everyone else? Do you feel like you’ve been masking, people-pleasing, or constantly trying to keep it together — only to end up exhausted, misunderstood, or full of self-doubt? Many neurodivergent women grow up without the language or support to understand their experiences, often internalizing shame and pushing themselves to meet expectations that never quite fit. This group offers a space to explore who you are beneath the masking, unlearn harmful narratives, and reconnect with your needs, identity, and voice — with compassion, community, and no need to prove yourself.
Finding Clarity and Balance
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a core part of our group because understanding how your brain works changes everything. When you've spent years feeling "too much" or "not enough," gaining language and insight into neurodivergence can be profoundly validating. In this group, we explore topics like masking, executive functioning, sensory needs, emotional regulation, and the impact of late diagnosis. Learning about these experiences through a neurodivergent-affirming lens helps members shift from self-blame to self-understanding. Knowledge becomes a tool for healing, empowerment, and making sense of your story.
tool and tips and "me too moments"
This group isn’t just about insight — it’s about real-life tools, helpful tips, and the power of “me too” moments. Together, we explore strategies that actually work for neurodivergent brains, from sensory regulation and boundary-setting to communication and unmasking in safe ways. Just as important are the moments when someone else says exactly what you’ve felt and thought but never had words for. That shared recognition can be healing in ways that tools alone can’t offer. This is a space where you don’t have to explain the way your mind works. We get it, because we’ve lived it too.
internalized ABLEISM & shame
Many of us have spent years believing we were broken — not because we were, but because the world wasn’t built for our brains. Internalized ableism shows up as chronic self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the deep belief that our needs are “too much.” Shame becomes a constant companion when we're praised for hiding who we are and punished for showing up authentically. In this group, we begin to name and unlearn those messages. Through reflection, education, and connection, we gently untangle shame from identity and begin the work of replacing it with self-trust and compassion.
navigating relationships
Relationships can be confusing, overwhelming, and painful when you’ve spent your life masking, over-accommodating, or not feeling fully understood. Many neurodivergent women find themselves stuck in cycles of burnout, people-pleasing, or emotional disconnection — not because they don’t care, but because the way they process connection, communication, and boundaries often goes unseen. In this group, we explore how neurodivergence impacts friendships, romantic partnerships, family dynamics, and workplace relationships. Together, we work toward building connections rooted in authenticity, consent, and mutual respect, without having to abandon ourselves to belong.
identity
For many neurodivergent women, identity is complicated. When you've spent years adapting to fit in, masking parts of yourself to feel safe or accepted, it can be hard to know who you are underneath it all. Late diagnosis or self-discovery often brings a mix of clarity, grief, and rebirth. In this group, we make space for that complexity. We talk about identity not as something fixed, but as something you’re allowed to reclaim, redefine, and grow into. This is about finding the parts of you that were never broken—only buried—and learning how to meet yourself with curiosity, compassion, and love.
When you’ve spent years masking to stay safe or be accepted, it’s easy to lose touch with your real needs, feelings, and identity. Here, we begin the work of uncovering what’s truly yours and coming back to who you are underneath it all.
