Non-Fiction Book Club 📘 “The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy”

Join us at our non-fiction book club! 🤗

We’re reading “The Autistic Survival Guide to Therapy” by Steph Jones. A recommendation from my therapist, I’m very interested in learning about how caring for my autistic-self is different from the typical ‘self-care’ advice you hear, and she said that this book covers that and more!

I’m very interested to hear everyone else’s take on the best self care for themselves.

Even if you haven’t finished—or even started—the book, please come join us, as our book discussions always lend themselves to being a starting place for everyone to share their own experiences and perspectives 😊

And, we end up getting off topic and only talk about the book part of the time anyway lol

___ "This is the book that would've saved me nine different therapists, decades of self-analysis, thousands of pounds, twelve different doctors and untold amounts of pain, frustration and trauma - in spending a lifetime looking for the right answers in the wrong places I've become an accidental expert."

In this candid, witty and insightful exploration into therapy, Steph Jones uses her professional and lived experiences as a late diagnosed autistic woman and therapist, as well as consulting therapists from across the world and tapping into the autistic community, to create the ultimate autistic survival guide to therapy.
Steph confronts the statistics, inadequate practices and ableist therapists head on and poses the questions of how we can make therapy neurodivergence-affirming and how to create safe spaces for autistic individuals. With strategic and practical advice to help recognise the 'red flags' of a dodgy therapist and provide a clear roadmap to finding your confidence and setting the appropriate boundaries with a new therapist, Steph has every question answered.
To support therapists striving for inclusivity and a neurodiverse affirming practice, the inclusion of a context guide provides a deconstruction of each therapy session so you can recognise how undiagnosed (or diagnosed) autism may present itself during therapy and how you can start to explore this in the therapeutic space.___
