Consultation with Candice

What is does a Consulation around Autism and Intimacy?

Consultation with Candice is often a time-limited, goal oriented approach to educating teaching individuals and same/mixed neurotype couples around Autism as a neuro-culture, including the importance of understanding what intimacy is/is not, the importance of understanding one’s sexual sensory profile and tools for connecting with a partner non-sexually and sexually from a place that feels Self-led.

Working through “Intimacy Stuck Points”…

Every human has intimacy stuck points, or challenges that require we seek guidance with clear-cut tools for achieving more clarity in order to connect better with our loved ones. In order to do this, I incorporate many tools from Internal Family Systems, Intimacy From the Inside Out, and at times The Gottman Institute. The Gottman’s use of scripts are incredibly helpful for an Autistic neurotype. We do great with scripts! When we are exploring issues related to sexual intimacy, I often rely on the brilliant work of Esther Perel and Emily Nagoski (among others). I also weave in my sexual sensory profile e-book along with specific questions to help an Autistic person or couple understand sensory sex better including what they like/don’t like surrounding sensory sex.

When I am consulting neurodifferent females, many who have experienced trauma as the result of intimate betrayal or sexual assault/manipulation/coercion, I incorporate my dear friend Dr. Rachel Allyn’s book, The Pleasure Is All Yours: Reclaim Your Body’s Bliss and Reignite Your Passion for Life and several other resources for reclaiming one’s body and sense of self pleasure, joy and bliss.
