Had a very enlightening and fun conversation with Shelby Nolan of A Divergent Lens Counseling this week. We learn more about alexithymia, the positive side of shame, and more! I really enjoyed our chat.

Shelby Nolan Bio:

works as a trauma therapist as a licensed professional counselor. She specializes in working with neurodivergent and queer folks, in particular. As a neurodivergent person herself, she is passionate about reducing the stigma and the shame around neurodivergence and helping folks both celebrate their neurodivergence and also build strategies for managing the parts that can be more difficult. She has her own practice: A Divergent Lens Counseling in Colorado, where she also works hard to build community with other mental healthcare providers and others who are in helping fields. She's been slowly working on writing more about neurodivergence and therapy, so feel free to check out her website to see how that's going!
