Jodie Mainstone, psychotherapist and EMDR Consultant Supervisor, explored the intersection between neurodivergence, trauma and mental health. Drawing on her clinical experience, she discussed the prevalence and impact of trauma among autistic and ADHD adults, the patterns she regularly sees in practice, and the therapeutic support neurodivergent people may need.

Jodie also considered why neurodivergent people can be more vulnerable to additional mental health difficulties, and introduced After Recognition, her programme supporting adults following the identification or diagnosis of neurodivergence.
