Here are just a few voices from our community:
“As a young adult with autism, I have found Kelly’s curriculum to be a game changer. It has helped me improve my own interoception skills and learn more about my body and emotions. This has led to me being better able to tell people how I feel as well as strategies to support my own regulation needs. This curriculum is filled with tips and concrete strategies and provides people with the tools needed to support interoception and self-regulation.”
– Chloe R.
“Learning about interoception has completely changed how I support my clients. It has shifted me from a place of labeling their emotions and making suggestions on what I thought they should do to regulate their emotions to a place where I help each client to discover their own emotional experience and needs. Kelly’s framework helped me to make this shift in a way that wasn’t overwhelming.”
– Candice T.
