Episode 50 with Lafaya Mitchell.

"We have traits, not symptoms. This isn't an illness — it’s not like diabetes."

Lafaya is a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience working closely with families overwhelmed with socially, emotionally, and or behaviorally challenged children, and offering effective strategies and healing those relationships.

She is also the author of The Lafaya Way book series for parents of hypersensitive children, and you can find out more about all of the incredible work she’s doing at her website lafayaway.com.

In this interview, we talk about her philosophy on neurodiversity, as well as her journey to understand and work with her own hypersensitivity and the accommodations she uses for herself and for her daughter and the positive approaches she recommends for families.
