Embodying Autism: Embrace Your Neurodivergence and Make Sense of Sensory Surplus with Internal Family Systems

In this groundbreaking book, autistic psychotherapist Sarah Bergenfield explains how and why autism is an embodied condition of sensory surplus--a conclusion she has reached through both lived experience and empirical evidence. Joining Bergenfield, psychotherapist Martha Sweezy offers an adaptation of the internal family systems (IFS) therapy approach, along with skills grounded in neuroscience and polyvagal theory to help readers navigate their unique neurotype, understand their sensory sensitivities, and feel at home in their autistic bodies.
