SUMMARY:You Don't Have to Talk About It: Understanding Emotions\, Identity and Overwhelm
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed for Autistic LGBTQ+ folks (youth\, teens\, and adults)\, as well as caregivers and professionals who want to better understand and support them. It focuses on validating different ways of experiencing and expressing emotions for those who may find it difficult or uncomfortable to “just talk about it.” \n\n\n\nParticipants will be introduced to alternative ways of processing emotions\, including creative\, sensory\, and play-based strategies\, and receive practical tools for managing overwhelm.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop is interactive\, low-pressure\, and affirming\, with no expectation for participants to share unless they feel comfortable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday\, June 2212:00 – 1:00 p.m. (Mountain Time)Online via Autism Edmonton \n\n\n\nWhen you click on the button that says “Register\,” you will be redirected to Autism Edmonton’s Eventbrite page where you can reserve your spot. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: \n\n\n\nMadison Twa (she/her) is a Registered Provisional Psychologist based in Edmonton\, working with children\, teens\, and adults. She specializes in emotional regulation\, creative expression\, and play therapy\, and takes a neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming approach in her work. Madison is passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe to explore who they are without pressure to explain themselves “the right way\,” especially for those who find it difficult to put their experiences into words. \n\n\n\nHer approach integrates creative\, experiential\, and play-based strategies to support emotional understanding and self-expression. Madison believes that emotions don’t always need to be talked through to be understood\, and that meaningful growth can happen through play\, creativity\, and connection.
