  • Interview with Barbara Baum Freethy, M.Ed., a Social Cognitive Therapist
    Jun 4 2022

    On today’s episode, I inteviewed Barbara Baum Freethy, M.Ed., a Social Cognitive Therapist with a specialty in working with neurodivergent children and adults.

    Over the past 40 years Barbara has been a teacher, developmental evaluator, play therapist, individual psychotherapist and parent coach. She is a certified CPS Provider (Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model developed by Ross Greene, PhD) and currently meets virtually with parents and families across the country.

    Barbara also developed Transdisciplinary Workshops, Inc. organizing over 200 continuing education events for professionals and parents wanting to learn more about cognitive diversity, psychology and mental health.

    In this interview I spoke with Barbara about the basics of CPS, how people can use CPS to better connect with their partners and their children. And we also talked about some ways to listen reflectively in order to understand each other’s concerns to create connection, rather than deflecting and/or correcting each other’s concerns, which tends to lead to disconnection, stress, and reactivity.

    Barbara lives in coastal Maine where she enjoys traveling to local islands as well as sharing her great interest in geometric origami.

    She can be reached at Barbara@transdis.com

  • Interview with Lyric Holmans, Founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting
    May 22 2022

    On today's episode, I interviewed Lyric Holmans, an autistic self-advocate from Texas who runs the neurodiversity lifestyle blog Neurodivergent Rebel. They are also the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting. Lyric is known as the pioneer of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, where simple questions prompt open-ended responses that Autistic people can easily chime in with, and invites participants to engage each other in conversations related to the topic. This hashtag connects NeuroDiverse people who would not otherwise have a reason to engage with each other, and fosters collective understanding of the Autistic Experience.

  • Interview with Kelsie, The Occuplaytional Therapist
    Feb 11 2022

    On today’s episode, I interviewed Kelsie, who goes by The Occuplaytional Therapist online, where she writes about everything from space-themed activities to sensory processing. She shares insights from a school-based professional perspective about IEPs, child development, and working with kids with disabilities, as well as a more personal perspective as a mom herself, and all focused on the importance of learning through play.

    In this episode, we talk about sensory processing and some of what kids who have sensory processing challenges go through, how we as parents can support them, and how we can also support ourselves while we’re having sensory challenges of our own.

    I want to apologize in advance for some technical glitches in this interview. But in my opinion, they are minor and don’t detract from this really interesting conversation I had with Kelsie, who is a such a brilliant, insightful and generous human being.

    You can follow Kelsie’s amazing Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/occuplaytional.
