Jodi Carlton has over 20 years of combined experience as a therapist, educator, and coach. As a professor, she inspired curiosity in students about human drives and motivation. She has counseled and coached hundreds worldwide in over 13 countries with challenges like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and brain injury. Jodi is a leading expert in neurodiversity and has helped countless teenagers, parents, adults, and couples to understand brain differences in language, emotions, sensory processing, and behavior. Her neurodiverse relationship podcast featuring couples, partners, and professionals has been downloaded by thousands in over 42 countries. For Jodi, neurodiversity is personal. Her expertise is rooted in relationships with domestic partners, her children, family members, and close friendships. Jodi is also a survivor of narcissistic abuse and spent years recovering from codependency that resulted from the abuse. Someone once told her, "I can't imagine the number of people you're going to help because of your own experiences." Today that is Jodi's exact mission- to reach and guide others through their own journey of discovery and healing.
I will teach you about neurodiversity, and how the differences in your neurotypes cause confusion and misunderstandings. This provides you with a framework for understanding your relationship in a totally new way and will give you some immediate, initial, relief from the confusion and misunderstandings.
CLARITY
I will help you resolve the question of "IF" one of you has traits and characteristics of neurodiversity. My comprehensive relationship evaluation assesses both of you to see how you are different from one another - not just how one of you is different from the world. Clarity is also a critical part of discernment for partners who feel hopeless. Getting clarity is essential for identifying a direction to take in your relationship, and in your education and coaching.
DIRECTION
Partners who have been in disconnected, painful, relationships for a long time are often considering leaving or ending the relationship. One of the biggest mistakes I've seen therapists and couples make when starting counseling or coaching is immediately working on relationship repair. FIRST, you must determine if being in the relationship is the direction you are taking. This isn't always a quick or easy process, but it cannot be skipped. I will meet you where you are, and help you get to where you want, and need, to be.
SOLUTIONS
Once you determine your direction, even if you struggle with feeling confident about your choice, then you need solutions for moving forward. If you are choosing to stay in your relationship to work on resolving painful disconnection by developing new skills within a neurodiverse framework, I will pull out my toolbox and we'll get to work! If you have decided that you've reached the end of your relationship and need help making this transition, I will help you work through the pain, grief, and upheaval of such a massive change to your world.
