Neurodiverse-Affirming Skills Building Group
Do you identify with being highly-sensitive, introverted, autistic or other temperament that often leaves you feeling misunderstood by others? Have you ever suspected or been diagnosed with a learning disability, sensory processing disorder or labeled gifted? Are you prone to feeling sensory, cognitive, and/or emotional overwhelm? Neurodiversity refers to the healthy variation in how different people’s brains receive, process and respond to stimuli. In this group, we will learn: 1) How our brain/neurology/nervous system works 2) How our neurology affects our emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships 3) Ways to work with anxiety, depression, meltdowns and shutdowns. https://jennyleungtherapy.com/group

Emotional Literacy: Language of Feelings (on hold)
We will examine four common emotions with which many of us struggle: anxiety, fear, sadness, and anger along with mixed emotions like guilt and overwhelm, and pleasant emotions like joy and gratitude. We will go to the heart of each emotion, examine its range and recognize that emotions connect mind and body, past and present, intention and action. We'll explore what happens in our brain and nervous system when we are in the grip of a challenging emotion and how we can either self-soothe or ask another to help us co-regulate. https://jennyleungtherapy.com/group
Monthly Neurodiverse Yoga Group (ongoing)
These gentle classes, in support of neurodivergent folks and those close to them, are a melding of yoga as an embodiment practice, mindfulness, self-care, self-attunement, and deep rest. Each class is an exploration of yoga as a body-based awareness practice and a therapeutic antidote to sensory overload and negative emotional states including anxiety and depression. Students are encouraged to slow down, create space and tune into the shifting landscape of the mind and the internal sensations of the body. First Sundays of each month, 1 PM to 2:15 PM (except Sept 1) Cost: $45 More information at: https://jennyleungtherapy.com/yoga
