Unlocking Joy: Moving Beyond Relief in Neurodivergent Lives with Jason
Manage episode 503786759 series 2856381
Relief feels good.
The meltdown is over. The pressure is gone. The stress has eased.
For many neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults, relief can start to feel like the ultimate goal—because it’s safe, predictable, and immediate. But it's crucial to understand: relief isn’t the same as joy. And chasing it can keep them from the deeper connections and experiences that bring real fulfillment.
In this episode, Jason unpacks the difference between fleeting relief and lasting joy. He challenges the myth that neurodivergent individuals don’t crave emotional connection and shares how intentional boundaries, meaningful attachments, and personal growth can open the door to a richer, more satisfying life.
