Therapy with a Push

Autism / ADHD

Have you been masking for your whole life?

If you are autistic and/or have ADHD, you have probably been masking for most of your life. This leaves you vulnerable to manipulation by others as you are assuming that the other is doing it right and knows better than you.

Whilst they may be fitting in more easily than you, that doesn’t mean that they are emotionally intelligent or have any idea what is going on in life.

Can you not stop people-pleasing?

The need to mask will have come because of not fitting in and feeling different as a child. You have probably found it exhausting working out which mask to wear for which person. 

Working hard to be liked, or people-pleasing, will have led to resentment of others as you give more than them just to stay in the relationship. As a people-pleaser, you are the perfect prey for a narcissist to manipulate.

Stop pleasing others and restore your relationship with yourself.

Let me help you work on your self-concept so that you become better able to accept yourself as you are. As your relationship with yourself improves, you will care less about pleasing others. 

Sometimes it might benefit to mask, but if you are choosing to do it for you and not the other, you will feel much better about it. Let me help you realise that you are the best and only expert regarding yourself. 

This will improve your relationship with yourself, which will improve your relationship with others and your world.
