À propos de ce contenu audio

The Actualising Woman🪴is an unfiltered, raw diary of life after my late diagnosis of (Level 1) ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and a mental breakdown in 2025 at age 58 🌸

I talk candidly about how I’m learning to live unmasked, rebuilding a congruent identity and search for a life that finally fits ME (however unconventional and 'off the beaten track' it might seem!) so that I can freely become a fully functioning and actualising woman; and hopefully, helping you along the way too…🌱

I’m a counsellor trained in person-centred therapy, and I’m totally inspired by Carl Rogers (the king of person-centred therapy) and also his daughter Natalie Rogers who herself was an art therapist and wrote a fantastic book about her journey through the later stages of her life after HER life changing event.

And so, I’m focusing my future significant life-change ahead around Carl Rogers’ Theory of Actualisation 🌱 and his outline of changes and self-development we might ALL need to make, to be able to move towards becoming actualised… aka becoming a ‘Fully Functioning Person'.

In simple terms, I'm creating for myself the best possible environment in which I can thrive, reach my fullest potential and for once, after decades of highly masking, (to my detriment) I can learn to accept myself for who I am as a neurodivergent, and live congruently, UNMASKED🌸🌱

      PART 2 What is Actualisation? What does it MEAN to me? Becoming a Fully Functioning Person with AuDHD
      Jan 27 2026

      PART 2. In this episode I'm outlining: 1. what actualisation means. 2. what it means to become a fully functioning person and 3. what does that mean for me in REAL terms? What changes do I need to make regarding self-development, what do I need more of, less of, to be able to live with psychological, financial and geographic FREEDOM?!

      PART 1 What's Your Plan Clare?? What Do You Need For You to Start Becoming a Fully Functioning Person? AKA - Actualise?
      Dec 12 2025

      PART 1. In this one, I'm talking about (well... rambling on, really) a lightbulb moment I had in May 2022, which I've never got out of my head. A long term dream. BUT, it seems that it's only now that I'm ready for it to come to fruition. Why? Because certain experiences needed to be experienced first, for me to gain clarity about why the dream happened in the first place... Hindsight eh!

      This plan of action, I'm hoping, will provide me with the sensory, social and financial security I have always needed, without realising. And only now, after my dual diagnosis of AuDHD, do I understand why I was always in such a miserable pickle, living the way I have been living!
