Somatic Therapy for Late-Diagnosed Adults

A Hidden Toll on the Body Many adults who receive an autism or ADHD diagnosis later in life find themselves dealing with a state of deep, unexplainable physical exhaustion. Traditional cognitive behavioral therapy often treats this burnout as a cognitive issue, asking you to challenge your thoughts to feel better. But when your sensory system is constantly overwhelmed and your brain is processing too much environmental data, trying to think your way out of burnout only causes more fatigue. Your body is stuck in a loop of high alert, and traditional talk therapy simply cannot reach the physical source of your distress.
