This is especially relevant for those with late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, like ADHD, where understanding and compassion for \"past parts\" are crucial for healing.\n\nImpact of Medication: Both Monica and I discussed the stigma surrounding medication for neurodivergent individuals. Monica spoke openly about how medication has transformed her executive functioning and brought clarity and progress in her work and daily life.\n\nAuthenticity and Alignment: Monica shared her journey from feeling like a \"hot mess\" in business to finding alignment in her personal and professional life. Her story underlines the value of authenticity and re-parenting one's inner child to create a successful, meaningful career.\n\n\nMore about Monica:\n\nMonica is a therapist, coach, freelance writer, and enneagram teacher. Based out of Asheville, NC, she sees clients in her boutique therapy practice who want more connected relationships with themselves and their dear ones. She uses a combination of parts work (Internal family systems), the enneagram, and dynamic attachment repatterning experiencing (DARE) to help recovering people pleasers alchemize their pain into purpose and meaning and create alignment in their choices.\n\nRead her full bio here: atppod.com/151\n\nThe HELD retreat is September 13\u201315, 2024 in Old Fort, NC.
