Those early mornings sucked, bro lol, but those were the moments where I was able to discover parts of myself that were hidden. I wanted to know the most authentic and favorite version of myself, not the product of the environments I've experienced. I nonjudgmentally questioned my thoughts, actions, and behaviors. And ask myself, is this who I am to be? Anything that didn't align was removed, and it hurt more than it felt good at the time. But now, I can see and feel the payoff.

In this riveting episode of The Inside Perspective, I open up about my recent journey with autism/neurodivergence and the transformative power of self-reflection in nurturing non-judgmental self-support.

This realization prompted me to seek more substantial support. One technique that has been instrumental in helping me avoid self-judgment is simply listening. I allowed the various voices in my mind to speak freely and then transcribed their words. Upon reflection, I often discovered that these voices did not belong to me. This process has been incredibly enlightening, uncovering a deeper understanding of my inner thoughts and feelings.
