Summary
Recognizing the importance of self-care and body connection is crucial for those with ADHD, which is what makes Caitlin Doherty’s work with Mindful Movement for Misfits so significant. As a therapeutic yoga and movement practitioner, Caitlin not only offers guidance but also embodies the vibrant possibilities of living with ADHD and autism. Her personal journey is one of resilience, navigating the obstacles of a late diagnosis and limited early support to transform her unique traits from childhood struggles into adult strengths. In this episode of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, we delve into how neurodivergent characteristics, often misunderstood in youth—like outspokenness and a relentless pursuit of truth—actually signify intelligence and creativity.
Caitlin Doherty is a therapeutic yoga and movement practitioner with a deep passion for animals and a curious outlook on life. She applies her expertise at an eating disorder clinic, teaching yoga with a focus on compassionate care. As an autistic woman with ADHD and Pathological Demand Avoidance, Caitlin understands the complexities of mental and chronic illnesses. Through her company, Mindful Movement for Misfits, she creates inclusive spaces for those often marginalized in traditional wellness environments, helping them reconnect with their bodies just as they are.
