194 - UnVeiling Your Story, How Autistic Women Use Narrative Therapy to Reclaim Their Truth

194 - UnVeiling Your Story, How Autistic Women Use Narrative Therapy to Reclaim Their Truth

For many autistic women, being believed is a battle. From childhood, we’re told our experiences aren’t real, that we’re “too much” or “not enough.” It’s time to change that.


This week, we explore narrative therapy—how storytelling fosters self-trust, validation, and healing. Whether you’re autistic or a helping professional, this episode is for you.


✨ Includes:

✅ Guided meditation for self-validation

✅ A powerful journaling exercise

✅ Subscriber-only research on narrative therapy


🎧 Listen now & let’s reclaim our stories

RESOURCES FOR EPISODE 194


🌱 Plant the Seed Questions:

Ask yourself:

  1. "What strengths did I use to navigate this situation?"

  2. "What did this experience teach me about my needs and boundaries?"

  3. "If I were talking to a close friend who had this experience, what compassionate things would I say to them?"

  4. "What is a more accurate and empowering interpretation of this situation?"

  5. "How can I use this experience to affirm my own validity and build my confidence?"

  6. "What evidence do I have that my feelings were valid in this situation?"

  7. "How can I use this experience to inform how I advocate for myself in the future?"


💧 Water and Nourish Questions:

Ask yourself:

"What stories have I been afraid to share?" and

"How can I validate my own experiences more often?"
