Beyond the Mask - Beginning Feb 17th, 2026 -online

This therapeutic support group is for Neurodivergent and queer folks between ages ~22 and ~33 who struggle with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). This is the clinical term for when the nervous system says NO (you experience so much visceral resistance in the body) about anything that feels like a "should" or a moral failure if you do not do it. I know the feeling, you are so not alone. This group is an invitation to share experiences, build community, process emotions in a safe space, practice de-shaming, and start recalibrating to a new story that works better for us.
