Healing begins with self-discovery, and unmasking may be the most powerful step of all.

Dr. Craig Wells, D.O., explores the complex realities of neurodivergent living, emphasizing the lifelong journey of self-discovery, healing from trauma, and reclaiming personal identity. Drawing from his lived experience and professional practice, Dr. Wells discusses how effective communication, intentional parenting, and burnout recovery can transform the lives of neurodivergent individuals and their families.

He introduces Connection Craft, a relationship-centred program designed to help people cultivate meaningful, supportive connections rooted in neurodiversity-affirming practices. The conversation also touches on the role of spirituality in navigating societal pressures and the power of myth-busting to understand the real strengths and capabilities of neurodivergent people.

If you're seeking insight into autism, ADHD, trauma recovery, parenting, or neurodivergent identity, this episode offers a thoughtful and empowering perspective.
