Unmasking with the Values Based Integration Process


Barrie Food Bank – RoundUP Training Run

This morning’s training run with the Barrie Runninjas coincided with the Barrie Food Bank’s RoundUP, so we decided to do our training route from MEC across to Ardagh Bluffs School and then back again down Ardagh to MEC.

We had a great crowd out, with lots of people happy to push! I have been amazed at this group of runners. This was only my second morning out and both weeks I’ve had people queuing up for a chance to join in. This is what first caught my attention about the running and triathlon communities in Simcoe when Trevor first started participating years ago – the camaraderie, acceptance and sense of community were incredibly enticing and I always wanted to be part of the fun!

Thanks to the Runninjas for a great morning out, a super-fast training pace, a chance to be part of the Food Bank event in a wonderfully community way, and of course the smoothies back at the store!



About the program

In 2017 I was newly self-diagnosed with atypical autism, struggling with burnout, and striking out when it came to therapists who could address the issues I was facing. At the same time, I was building skills around life coaching, shame reduction, and trauma-informed therapy for work. Gradually I realized that what I needed – an embodied, autonomous, agency-driven coaching approach to unmasking – was not something I was going to find “out there”, but something I was going to need to create if I wanted to recover my life. This was the moment the Values Based Integration Process was born.

Having developed the program for myself – and having seen the incredible results it brought in my own life – I began to use it with coaching clients. The results were out of this world!

After conversations with Dr. Devon Price, the technique was featured in his book Unmasking Autism. With it, came interest in the technique and the decision was made to begin training coaches and therapists to help make this toolkit more readily available.
