‘Love Tanks’
Yesterday we talked about the importance for us as humans to feel ‘safe, known and precious’. I want you to imagine that each of us has a ‘love tank’ inside of us. This love tank is like a gas tank – you can only get out fuel (in this case love) if you’ve got some… Continue reading

Safe, Known and Precious
We are all born with an inbuilt need to connect with other humans. Unlike many of our animal kingdom cousins, humans are born – and remain for a very long time – intensely dependent on the adults in their world to care for them and look after them. Because of this, we crave the continuous knowledge that… Continue reading

When It Runs In The Family
I’ve thought a lot over the years about why it took so long for us to realize that we were a family on the spectrum, and here are at least a few of those reasons. In our family, autism is the norm. That’s true not only in our immediate family, but among a lot of Continue reading

Atyipcal Autism
I want to spent this week talking a little bit about our autism journey. It wasn’t until the spring of 2013 that we my youngest was flagged for autism. It really should have happened years earlier – by that point she was nine, her older sibling was 12 and her dad was 36. Why does… Continue reading
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.
