Friday 14th Feb at 1 - 2pm On Being an Autistic Therapist Book Launch with Max Marnau & Colleagues Join the authors for a special 60-minute event celebrating the launch of On Being an Autistic Therapist, edited by Max Marnau. This groundbreaking book, written by members of the international Autistic Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ACP) collective, offers powerful insights into working as autistic therapists. Through lived experience and professional expertise, the contributors tackle stereotypes about autism, advocate for inclusive therapy practices, and share innovative approaches for working with autistic clients. Each chapter provides a unique perspective on how the authors perceive the world and engage with clients, demonstrating how neurodiversity enriches and benefits all. This event features Max Marnau alongside several contributing authors in an engaging panel discussion. Together, they’ll explore key themes from the book, including the transformative potential of autistic therapists, the importance of neurodiversity in therapy, and the ways we can all join the movement for change. Whether you are autistic, allistic, a therapist, a client, or someone curious about these topics, this is a valuable opportunity to connect, and learn. Register for free at https://lnkd.in/eik7HtVv About the book… This new book is about working as autistic counsellors and psychotherapists. It is a collection of stand-alone chapters put together by members of the international online collective Autistic Counsellors and Psychotherapists (ACP). It shares their main aims: to tackle the lack of appropriate therapy available to autistic clients and to challenge the common stereotypes about autistic people, which are still very much alive and can bar them both from therapy and therapy training. But, because the writers have lived experience of the issues they are working with, they are also writing about ways of working most effectively and helpfully with autistic people. Their stories provide incontrovertible evidence that the existence of autistic therapists, far from being problematic or even a contradiction, is quite simply normal. And that neurodiversity, just like biodiversity, enriches, broadens and benefits all. It offers readers – autistic, allistic, therapists and would-be therapists, clients and would-be clients – the chance to meet the contributors and see them as humans, therapists and supervisors.

‘Robin Shohet and these graduate trainees from his and Joan Wilmot’s "Supervision as Spiritual Practice" course show immense generosity and courage in sharing here their refreshingly honest descriptions of their learning in process, drawing on their personal experience and client caseloads.  Such unpolished, sometimes raw openness is a rare thing to find in a published book and offers inspiration to other supervisors wishing to explore spirituality in their work.  Alongside, Robin has reworked the seven-eyed model of supervision to reflect a spiritual dimension, bringing greater depth to this classic approach. This book is an extraordinary example of transcendence of ego and a humbling reminder that we are all on a learning journey. I would highly recommend it to any supervisor (or supervisee) wanting to deepen their connection to self and others.'

OUT TODAY… On Being an Autistic Therapist edited by Max Marnau Available to order at https://lnkd.in/e5Uj5Yg6 ‘On Being an Autistic Therapist represents a moment in history and is a milestone. This anthology of writings and drawings by professional counsellors and mental health therapists about their experiences of being autistic and how their work is informed by them is timely, informative and compelling.’ Dr Catriona Stewart, OBE, MCPP, researcher, educator, ambassador and co-founder of the charity SWAN Autism Scotland ‘This revolutionary, timely, necessary book is a must for all therapy trainers and organisations and I hope it finds its way into the hands of as many neurodivergent therapists and clients as possible. It’s a readable, warm, wise mosaic of perspectives from autistic therapists who powerfully demonstrate a rainbow toolbox of ways they connect with clients, many of whom, like them, have felt different all their lives and flourish when their autistic language and culture is truly validated. I was inspired by the joyous inventiveness, myth-busting and hope I found in these pages...‘ Dr Kate Fox, poet and broadcaster #autistictherapist #autisticcounsellor #psychotherapist
