Unlearning Negative Behaviors and Learning New Behaviors to Optimize Self & Relationships with David Glick

It is Autism Acceptance and Action Month, and we have Dave Glick as our guest neurodivergent coach and clinician.
Today, Dr. Stephanie and Barbara ask David a few questions about behaviors.

We ask:

• Can you differentiate freeze and fawning?

• What are your thoughts on pervasive demand avoidance?

• What behaviors can actually change?

• Can those on the spectrum learn regulation and relational skills?

 About our Guest & Colleague:
Dave writes on his website: https://triadpsych.org/therapists/david-glick/
My specialties are quite extensive and diverse, as I have two degrees, one in Education and the other in Social Work. I was originally trained in behaviorism and usually merge behavior therapies with personality trait theories. This approach, while demanding, usually produces very positive results for my clients.
 My practice is a safe place where people can share and be open. Once trust is established, it becomes a virtual Swiss army knife, in that the therapy is adaptable and useful regardless of the situation. Essentially, I want my clients to be empowered with a new sense of self and confident in their abilities.
