What Therapists See Beneath the Mask |Ep 63.mp3

What Therapists See Beneath the Mask On the surface, masking can look like confidence and competence. But as a therapist, Blaze often sees what’s really underneath: exhaustion, overwhelm, and the toll of surviving in a world that wasn’t built for neurodivergent nervous systems. In this episode, Blaze unpacks why masking is so draining — from the constant executive load of self-monitoring to the emotional suppression that leads to collapse later. You’ll hear how masking is not strength but survival, and why survival strategies eventually leave us depleted. The takeaway? Masking isn’t weakness, but it is exhausting. Gentle unmasking can help restore your energy and your truth. This episode is a companion to the blog, “The Hidden Cost of ADHD Masking: Why You Feel Bone-Tired.” Read it now at (https://loveontheautismspectrum.com) LoveOnTheAutismSpectrum.com (https://loveontheautismspectrum.com) . Blaze’s book, Unmasked Self-Acceptance, launches November 18th — with 365 daily reflections to support you in resting, unmasking, and softening into your full self.
