resources
I’m always researching and discovering new resources within the topics that interest me (and that I love helping clients navigate). Have fun poking through the goodies below!
general
Mental Health America Crisis Resources
988 Lifeline — be aware that this might not be relevant if you hold marginalized identities.
Sedgwick County Crisis Intervention Services
Kansas Warmline — a warmline, not a hotline, for when you aren’t in immediate crisis but could still use someone to talk to.
UCLA Mindful App — a free app if you’re interested in learning about meditation.
Insight Timer — another free app with tons of excellent guided meditations.
How We Feel — colorful app for emotional check-in & journaling, created by mental health professionals.
neurodivergence
Neuroqueer Heresies — an OG in the field of neurodiversity, a book about the intersection of neurodivergence and queerness. This one totally embodies the rebel spirit!
Neurodivergent Mind — popular read, on my TBR list.
Neurotribes — a long book, and a bit older than anything else on this list, but still helpful in understanding neurodivergence.
We’re All Neurodiverse — so important to be listening to/reading others with lived experience! Read more here.
Laziness Does Not Exist — on my TBR.
What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic — insight from an autistic person. If you’re autistic and want to be validated or if you love someone who is autistic and want to learn more, this is a really great choice.
Unmasking Autism and Unlearning Shame — I’ve heard good things about both of these and the author is autistic.
ADHD 2.0 — really good information, though some of the content is not neurodiversity affirming.
Dirty Laundry — this couple is also on social media and their content is great if one partner is neurodivergent and the other is neurotypical.
Smart but Scattered — good executive functioning strategies written for parents of kids and teens but useful for adults too.
A Radical Guide for Women With ADHD — strength-based and feminist approach to how ADHD presents in women…plus, you know I like anything with the word “radical” in it!
Goblin Tools — a website that will help you with organizing and prioritizing.
Meme Gallery — clinician with lived experience, here’s a meme gallery they put together.
Reframing DSM Autism Criteria — this model for the reframing of autism criteria heavily informs my work.
Unstoppable Studio — awesome resource with tons of rabbit holes to go down…caution, it can be a bit overwhelming.
Neurodivergent Insights — this website is a treasure chest of resources created by an ADHD psychologist, helpful for clients and clinicians alike!
body image
The Body Is Not An Apology — a must read, with a companion workshop, that changed my life.
Fearing the Black Body — helpful to understand the racist foundations of fatphobia.
Belly of the Beast — heard amazing things, on my TBR list.
What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat — love everything from Aubrey. Check her out here.
Intuitive Eating — not a diet book. F*ck diets!
Weight & Healthcare Newsletter — great weekly-ish newsletter.
Fategories — helpful in describing bodies and understanding privileges/oppression.
Just Say Fat — why I say fat…another perfect Aubrey Gordon article.
Association for Size Diversity & Health — beautiful, value-driven organization working towards an anti-fat world.
psychedelics
How To Change Your Mind — so good! A great review of research and the author’s lived experience with psychedelics.
MAPS — one of the biggest names in the psychedelic field, doing tons of research! Tons of resources on their page too.
Psychedelic Medicine — heard great things, on my TBR list!
Good Chemistry — another popular read, also on my TBR list.
Fireside Project — provides emotional support during and after psychedelic experiences from 11am-11pm PT.
Hopkins Psychedelic — excellent way to stay informed about ongoing research and findings.
The Psychedelic Library — another rabbit hole!
