Self-Care: Navigating Trust Ad Free Interview Subscription Required

In this episode, Dr. Jessica Hicksted helps Autistic and neurodivergent listeners navigate trust with practical strategies for protecting energy, setting boundaries, and building self-trust without cutting off meaningful connection. The conversation highlights red flags such as pressure, flattery, gaslighting, and isolation, and links them to nervous system regulation and the window of tolerance. Viewers are guided to recognize patterns, listen to their inner truth, and find safe communities that honor pace and boundaries, proving that trust can be earned gradually rather than earned all at once.
