What’s Inside

  • Make room for mixed feelings: relief, grief, curiosity, and exhaustion may all be part of the process.

  • Notice your adaptations: which help you, and which cost more than you realized?

  • Explore daily life: sensory comfort, communication, energy, work, and money.

  • Reflect on your own patterns: short questions give you somewhere to begin.

  • Meet the person behind HerTism: I share my story, from childhood evaluations to later understanding.
