A common theme among clients lately: they realize how hard they subconsciously and consciously work to avoid feeling emotions. Instead, they reflectively hold/stuff/clench them in their body.
When we work together to unwind them during a session, they feel calmer, safer, and have less pain.

• Early research focused only on boys, leading to diagnostic criteria often missed in girls.
• Girls learn early to mimic social behaviors, making their autism harder to recognize.

You may wonder why altCDC is so political. Public health is as much about the disease as it is about the society in which that disease occurs.
