Sobre este título

Unmasking is an ongoing process of noticing when we’re performing, deciding what serves us, and making gradual adjustments, according to Essy Knopf therapist and author of “Unmasking: What We Lose by Pretending and How to Get It Back”. Essy shares his autism diagnosis at 25 and later recognition of ADHD, highlighting how masking and non-stereotypical presentations delayed identification. In this conversation Essy shares about:

  • Internalized ableism
  • Conditional self-worth
  • Burnout, and
  • The difficulty of forming authentic connections while performing for acceptance.

This episode offers a grounded discussion of identity, self-advocacy, and living more intentionally as a neurodivergent adult.
