116 Neurodiversity and Attachment: Bridging the Gap (with Barbara Grant)

Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation

Does neurodiversity impact relational attachments? What does secure and insecure attachment look like for those who aren’t neurotypical?

In this episode of the Attachment to God podcast, hosts Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw are joined by Barbara Grant, a specialist in autism and neurodiverse couples coaching. They talk about how neurodiversity impacts relational attachments and spiritual practices, particularly in the context of secure and insecure attachment.

Barbara Grant, holds a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy, a Certified Autism Specialist (IBCCES) and a certified Neurodiverse Couples Coach (AANE). She edited and is one of the authors of Uniquely Us: Gracefully Navigating the Maze of Neurodiverse Marriages and is the co-host of The Neurodiverse Couple's Coaches podcast.
