Why Unmasking is an Important Part of Decreasing Overwhelm
In this episode of ND Outloud, Danielle Ralston delves into the crucial role of unmasking in reducing overwhelm. Unmasking is explored as a process that initially heightens overwhelm before leading to its decrease. Joined by Vida Carey, the conversation touches upon unmasking as a sensory-seeking activity for neurodivergent individuals, emphasizing vulnerability and self-expression.
Unmasking isn't just about revealing one's true self—it's an act of bravery and rebellion, particularly challenging for those conditioned to hide their identities due to abuse or societal pressures. The episode highlights how unmasking fosters acceptance and growth for neurodivergent individuals, allowing them to embrace their needs authentically.
The importance of modeling unmasking behavior is underscored through personal anecdotes, such as the speaker's experience at Disney World, where they unmask themselves to demonstrate its significance, especially for neurodivergent children. Disney bounding emerges as a form of self-expression, particularly empowering for neurodivergent individuals.
Join the discussion on ND Outloud as Danielle Ralston and Vida Carey explore the transformative power of unmasking in navigating overwhelm and embracing authenticity.
