find the words you need
for the people you love
You know how it is: you’re talking to someone close to you, and it’s not an easy conversation. You’re picking your words carefully, navigating slowly, trying to get it right. They’re really important to you, the conversation is important, maybe it feels like the stakes are high.
…and then you realize you said the wrong thing. Their face changes. Their body language shifts. Suddenly they’re angry, or sad, or worried…
and you’re not even exactly sure what you said, or why it was wrong.
It’s difficult even under the best of circumstances. But when you’re different: neurodivergent, kinky, polyamorous, disabled (or a combination of them) it’s even harder.
Let me help. Sometimes it’s useful to have someone completely outside the situation–but who understands the nuances and complexities of the situation–help you think through what to say, how to say it, and what you might not have thought about. I’ve got decades of experience navigating all kinds of difference, and I can help you work out what’s going on, anticipate the rough spots, and say what you mean to say so the other person understands you.
