Serving Neurodivergent Adults
Parents and caregivers, please note that everything on our website for children applies equally to neurodivergent adults. Independent neurodivergent adults are also welcome to benefit from our facilities and programs.
Managing Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Adults often encounter anxiety, depression, and trauma from life experiences. Traditional treatments can be ineffective, as experienced by one of our athletes who struggled with severe depression despite trying various therapies.
At Feel Good Fit, we use movement protocols to tackle these issues. Exercise activates muscles that trigger specific somatic responses, allowing us to manage their effects. Unlike passive traditional methods, our active approach effectively addresses these challenges.
Managing Somatic Errors
By combining elements of nutrition, psychology, neuroscience, and other fields, our approach equips our clients and their parents with the skills, techniques, and insights needed to live fuller, more satisfying lives.
Unleashing Potential
Traditional approaches often treat neurodivergent conditions as disorders to be fixed. At Divergent Fitness, we focus on unlocking and nurturing each individual’s potential.We strive to harness these capabilities while fostering further skill development.
Understanding Somatic Errors
For instance, a young child learns about hot objects through sensory experience. Touching something hot provides feedback to the brain, which then stores this information to modify future behavior in similar situations.
However, individuals with neurodivergent conditions often experience challenges in this communication process between body and brain. They may process a vast amount of sensory information, overwhelming the brain’s ability to make accurate predictions. This perspective contrasts with typical processing, where expectations guide perception (“top-down”), rather than being heavily influenced by sensory inputs (“bottom-up”).
The Impact of Somatic Errors
Consider the everyday sensory overload most people experience. When processing information “from the top down,” individuals prioritize specific inputs rather than trying to handle everything simultaneously.
For instance, as you read this page, you likely focus on the text and relevant details, filtering out distractions. This focused approach contrasts with how neurodivergent individuals often perceive and process information – attempting to manage all inputs simultaneously, which can overwhelm their ability to focus, prioritize, and anticipate outcomes in similar situations.
