Full Circle

As anyone who has a “contact me” link on their website knows, you can get a wide range of excellent queries but also an incredibly high number of SEO offers and spam. Because of that, it can become just one more channel to check in a host of emails, texts, social media accounts and more. Continue reading

VBIP and Thriving After Adverse Religious Experiences and High (Religious) Control Environments

Because of the enormous success of Dr. Devon Price’s Unmasking Autism and the way the Values Based Integration Process (VBIP) is highlighted in that book, VBIP has been highly connected to its success as a strategy for those who are Autistic. What I have talked less about is the ways that VBIP was designed intentionally Continue reading

Shifting my Unmasking from Revealing to Unearthing

When I took the Values-Based Integration training, I hesitated to engage with the concept of unmasking again. I had already tried unmasking, and it went really badly. The only reason I showed up was because I had read about the process of finding values within your stories, which resonated with me in a way that Continue reading

Grounding the Small Things: Discovering my Values Didn’t Mean Uprooting My Life

“I’m terrified that I will learn I’m living a life 0% in line with my values and that learning them will make me feel worse. What if I made all the wrong decisions and must completely reinvent my life yet again?” This fear loomed large in my head when I learned that the training I Continue reading

Learning My Value(s)

Hi, I’m Seren. I’m an Autism and ADHD coach who nearly quit coaching before I even started. While I believe a core strength I have as a coach is the compassionate recognition of my own struggles, I was struggling. How did I have any right to coach others when my own life was disintegrating?

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.
