Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachBeing able to name an emotional experience (not just “it was bad,” or “it was awful,” or “I’m upset”), actually gives you energy because it pulls you out of being so wrapped up in it that you have to become sort of an observer to it, at least partially, and be able to process it.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Interoception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Interoception</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Burnout</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EnergyManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyManagement</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachWithout those expectations of how I “should” function, I’ve found lots of ways to help myself deal with the parts that I genuinely find difficult. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachThinking there’s only one strategy for getting something that you need artificially limits your options.There are almost always other strategies; explore different options.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

J.Got a bunch of cleaning and organization done yesterday with my aunt's help. Hurt myself moving something I shouldn't have lifted and will be in more pain than usual for awhile now... But I have a light exercise and stretch routine that I've put together that actually helps and I will resume that soon.One more day of work and then my roommate is moving in which will be another day of stuff to do, but not nearly as much. Things will be as prepared as they can be and then for the most part I won't have much left to do, thankfully. I've had to step away from a more active and consistent mode of <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/burnoutrecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#burnoutrecovery</a> for the past couple of weeks and I can't tell yet how much it will end up costing.I cannot wait to spend a nonverbal weekend resting, recovering, and maybe playing Palia if my arms and shoulders will let me.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/chronicpain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chronicpain</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachBelieving that your wants exist, matter, and can be met, is the first step in learning to figure out what you want.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sensory</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Interoception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Interoception</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachThings like knowing what you want or need, what help to ask for, how to make sensory overwhelm better, and how to get energy back are all easier to figure out when you have real time feedback from your body about what it’s experiencing. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Interoception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Interoception</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sensory</a>

J.I brought up this idea of acting from 'outside' myself to my therapist and on my own I have been thinking on this more closely. I’m using therapy to help me flesh this out. My therapist suggested that we explore the <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/internalfamilysystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internalfamilysystems</a> model in conjunction with this idea and I'm very open to that and grateful that she brought it up and is willing to walk along with me, following my lead, as I sort this out. She is really the only person I have to talk to in my life that doesn't simply look confused by my analysis of my own inner world. Everyone else means well, but I feel constantly invalidated because they cannot relate to me.And what I'm exploring IS a confusing idea and *I’m* not even entirely sure what is going on here. I can sense two different experiences; two different approaches to perspective. Slowly, a clearer picture is forming.The outside voice, as I’ve been referring to it, makes suggestions that are detached from my emotions. It's a bit like a NT person trying to tell a ND person to suck it up. It's not unkind to me, this voice, but it’s out of touch. It creates rules and guidelines for how I should live without taking my emotions into account. It wants to create solutions without considering how to work from such an emotional place when that IS where I am, it is my reality. It wants me to ignore my emotions and act, live, be as if they weren't even there when in actuality they are very much present and they cause a lot of strife and obstacle.The difficulty is trying to act from within the storm, as it were. To make decisions by using my emotions as cues or to solve problems while also considering my emotions. Outside of making usually thoughtless, spontaneous choices driven solely by emotion, I’ve never done this. I've never managed or really tried to integrate my emotions in a balanced way. I either act from a completely emotional place or I act as if I don't have them. I make movements within windows where my emotions are quiet and I move hard and fast while they aren't cutting into me and then I suffer the cuts and bruises that I inevitably get because I'm essentially running at full speed on numb feet, with a body unfeeling, and then when I can feel again I realize how much I've injured myself by trying to be someone I'm not.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BPD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BPD</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

J.I'm not pushing myself to do anything. I'm attempting to feel what desires for action arise without 'captaining' my own brain toward anything in particular. I'm finding that even the things I really like to do aren’t rising up in me right now.I have this strong, uncomfortable sense of removing myself, the ‘I' that is me, from within the action of doing things and it's as if I control myself from outside of myself, almost like another person giving instruction and meaning. I first think of what I want to do or have to do. Then I compile reasoning why I should or tick off the reasons why it might be enjoyable to create a kind of small desire to reach that outcome based on this reasoning, and then, eventually, I can make myself do it. With both desirable activities as well as obligatory action there's always a sense of being outside of myself instead of acting from within myself within a present moment. I'm constantly trying to commit to new habits or obligations that I feel, vaguely, hold some importance. Even in trying not to do this so much I am essentially still doing it; stepping out of myself to direct myself to reduce this habit.I'm not sure if this way of being, in itself, is odd, or if the strangeness comes from looking at it too closely.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachA source of energy gain comes from lessening your environmental stressors so that you don’t have to waste energy fighting off the world around you.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sensory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sensory</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Interoception" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Interoception</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachIs there a way that you can do whatever you need to do that would make it a little bit more pleasant? Or a little bit less draining?Can you just set it up in a way that it’s a little bit less sucky?<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Autistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Autistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EnergyManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyManagement</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachIn burnout, your brain and nervous system are struggling to keep up with unreasonable demands, and have gone into a self protection mode.Try to honor that, and give yourself compassion.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AutisticBurnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticBurnout</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Burnout</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachEspecially in the early stages of burnout recovery, it’s going to feel like you’re doing so much better and then something’s going to happen and you’re going to crash.You’ll probably have the thoughts of “Oh, no, it’s not working. It’s all for nothing.” And then you’re going to build up again, and it’s going to feel better.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AutisticBurnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticBurnout</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Burnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Burnout</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a>

Heather Cook🖖Autistic CoachThe goal is not to have no fluctuations in your energy level, in your ability to cope with things. That’s not human, that’s an idealistic perfectionist goal that humans, living in a real world, cannot achieve.But the fluctuations can be smaller.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/EnergyManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnergyManagement</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuDHD</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BurnoutRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BurnoutRecovery</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AutisticBurnout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticBurnout</a>
