Disability and sexuality and even disability and relationships aren’t topics that get talkedabout enough. So I decided to brave the frontier and talk about my journey with sex and relationships and disability on ‘Disability After Dark’.

I’m pretty candid in this, so only listen if you’re okay with knowing things about my relationship that could (for some) count as TMI … or, listen along and skip over the bits that seem too much if you’d rather, since I’d guess there’s only a few minutes of actual talk about sex to the hour and 46 minutes of the podcast. It’s mostly about things like purity culture and its impacts on disability, living in a multiply-disabled family, and the importance of communication to relationships.

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.
