Neurodivergent Voices in Therapy: Part 2, with Eve Menezes Cunningham

Welcome to this, the second of my 4 part mini-series, Neurodivergent Voices In Therapy.In this series, I had the pleasure of speaking with 4 amazing therapists about how their neurodivergence impacts them as private practitioners. We explore what it’s like to run a practice when you have autism, ADHD, dyslexia or a combination of those things. So if you are neurodivergent, or know people that are, this is for you.________________I'm delighted to say that this week I have Eve Menezes Cunningham with me.I’ve known Eve for some time, she was also in the Grow Your Private Practice membership, and I can tell you she is one of the kindest people you will ever have the good fortune to meet.And I am delighted to have her as a guest in the Neurodivergent Voices in Therapy series.Eve specialises in all things self-care (she describes it as ‘ Self-care for connecting with and taking better care of your highest, wisest, truest, wildest, most joyful, brilliant and miraculous Self - how cool is that?!)I could talk with Eve for hours, because we are quite different in our outlook - Eve is a very spiritual person, and I’m not spiritual at all, so I always learn so much a lot from her.She is an author, therapist, supervisor, master NLP practitioner, advanced EFT practitioner, experienced yoga teacher, and more (read 'About Eve below).Self-care and ADHDIn this podcast, we chat about:Self-care and people-pleasing within the therapist communityThe benefits of self-knowledge‘Addictive personality’ Vs impulse controlThe importance of restThe benefits of Yoga Nidra...and more. About Eve Menezes CunninghamEve is a very busy person!
