New German Medicine & Neurodiversity: A Gentle Perspective

New German Medicine offers a compassionate way of understanding how the body and mind respond to emotional stress and inner conflict. Instead of asking what is wrong, it invites us to ask what has been experienced as overwhelming.

When working with autistic and ADHD clients, this perspective can be especially supportive. Behaviours, sensitivities, restlessness, or withdrawal are not viewed as problems to fix, but as meaningful responses to the environment. They often reflect a nervous system that has learned to stay alert, protective, or adaptive.

In my coaching work at mindenergi, I use principles inspired by New German Medicine to support awareness, emotional regulation, and self-trust. By gently exploring unresolved conflicts and stress patterns, clients can begin to understand themselves with more compassion and less self-judgement.

When we feel understood — by ourselves and others — real change becomes possible.
