Loving the Neurodivergent Self: Reclaiming Worth in a World That Told You Otherwise

In this validating Therapy Insights Tuesday episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, offers a tender counter-message to one of the deepest wounds many neurodivergent people carry:

“I’m too much.”

Whether it was said directly or communicated through subtle cues—too emotional, too sensitive, too intense—the impact runs deep, shaping how safe we feel in relationships and how fully we show up in the world.

Blaze creates a gentle, grounded space where your whole self is welcome and honored.

You’ll experience:

• A reflective story that invites healing from past moments of dismissal or invisibility
• A powerful reframe: “You were never too much—you were just never fully seen.”
• A practical Home Play practice to reconnect with your truth and expand into self-acceptance

This episode is a warm embrace for anyone told to shrink—and a quiet revolution for those ready to grow back into themselves.
