The Yogi and The Hypnotist Episode 15: PDA
In this episode, we discuss PDA, or pathological demand avoidance- a lesser known but deeply impactful profile on the autism spectrum. If you've ever felt like simple requests turn into emotional landmines, or that parenting and partnering with a PDA loved one feels like walking a tightrope, this episode is for you.
We explore how PDA shows up in both children and adults and why traditional discipline or therapy approaches often backfire.
You'll hear insights from both of us- Jennifer as a neurodivergent therapist and mom, and John as partner and coparent- on how we navigate these complexities in real life.
Expect practical tools, a dose of validation, and a ton of compassion for those living at the intersection of high sensitivity, autonomy needs, and nervous system overwhelm.
If traditional ways to motivate an individual with PDA, what can one do to connect and inspire them?
Join us for this candid conversation- and leave with more understanding, tools and peace.
