Very helpful. You are adept at teaching and explaining abstract concepts like attachment and how they can impact an autistic person. Just followed you on Insight for more info.

This was really insightful and clear. I will listen to it again, since I am preoccupied by giving and receiving and how to differentiate between what comes out of joy and gratitude and what is from another place inside. Thank you very much!

I’m so excited to learn more on my journey of ego awareness and acceptance and restore. This talk was amazing. I took notes, and I’m interested to learn more about the meditation you use. Thank you I’m always looking to develop in my journey of life and this is one area that I am focusing on.

Thank you for this. I’m pretty new on the path of late discovery of my autism and I’ve always struggled with the fact I prefer being alone and trying to “fit in”. It’s helpful to hear you feel the same way. 🙏
