From Hyperfocus to Chaos: Real Talk About Neurodivergence

In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Raquel Devillé, a skilled therapist specializing in neurodiversity. They explore the complexities of living with ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivities, and how these experiences can manifest in daily life—especially for highly sensitive individuals.

Key Topics Covered:

• The meaning and nuances of neurodiversity (beyond labels and diagnoses)
  
  
• Executive functioning, rigid thinking, masking, and sensory overload
  
  
• How somatic therapies like TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and brainspotting support trauma healing
  
  
• The difference between neurotypical and neurodivergent experiences, and why “normal” might not exist at all
  
  
• Raquel’s perspective on labels and diagnosis—why she prefers to avoid them
  
  
• The spontaneous tremoring response and its impact on healing
  
  
• The overlap between ADHD and autism, especially in women
  
  
• Managing everyday challenges like disorganization, distraction, and overwhelm
  
  
• How Raquel organizes her spices alphabetically—and what that says about her brain!
  
  
• How tremoring can reduce stress, sugar cravings, and even trauma-related symptoms
  
  
• The importance of recognizing your own needs and finding therapies that work for your unique wiring
  
  

Raquel’s Approach:

Raquel explains her integrative approach, combining TRE, somatic experiencing, and brainspotting to help clients release trauma and stress stored in the body. She discusses why spontaneous tremoring can be a powerful reset for the nervous system and how somatic work differs from cognitive therapy by engaging deeper brain regions like the limbic system and the brainstem.
