Hey there, friend! 🌟 Ever feel stuck in cycles of rumination, avoidance, or emotional shutdown—and wonder why you can’t just “snap out of it”? In this powerful episode of Adulting with Autism, we sit down with Dr. Foojan Zeine—renowned psychotherapist, international speaker, and the creator of Awareness Integration Theory (AIT) and the Foojan App.
Whether you’re autistic, neurodivergent, or simply navigating your own healing, Dr. Foojan offers science-backed insights into how trauma, negative self-talk, and masking affect our minds—and what we can do to reclaim peace and clarity.
🧠 In this episode, we explore:
-
Why rumination and addiction are common coping mechanisms for autistic adults
-
The real reason masking drains your mental health
-
How AIT reduces anxiety and depression by up to 70%
-
What happens when you turn your phone into your emotional regulation coach
-
The power of journaling, reflection, and reframing—especially for neurodivergent brains
