The course itself

Unique format! Join us for a live recording of Aces Up Your Sleeve where we're answering listener questions about fatphobia, anti-fatness, and healthism (as it intersects with neurodivergence) and then an engaging discussion with the live therapist audience!

After the 30-45 minute episode recording, therapists will be able to ask questions about supporting clients in the face of anti-fat bias and healthism for the remainder of our time together.

In 90 minutes, we'll cover:
  • Where fatphobia and healthism stems from
  • How it impacts neurodivergent individuals
  • Common phrasing for discussing it with clients
  • Our favorite resources for clients (and therapists)
  • And so much more!

    ✨ Special focus given to a-spec & autistic clients.


Bonus content includes:
📘 1 page PDF handout with resources
