In Zessions Episode 10, we talk with Josie Serrata, Licensed Clinical and Community Psychologist and Co-Founder of Prickly Pear Therapy and Training. In this Zession, Josie shares her expertise on neurodiversity and neuroaffirmative care. She explains her personal connection to this topic and the benefits of integrating a neuroaffirmative perspective. We also talk about the intersectionality of different identities and how individuals with neurodiversity navigate the experience within themselves and the society that surrounds them.
