Dyslexia
Responding To our Dyslexia Symptoms of dyslexia vary from person to person and how we best respond to our dyslexia is very individual. If we are dyslexic, traditional teaching methods may not always help us and we can become pressurised, especially if we believe we have to always prove ourself. With dyslexia, knowing our learning style may help. Some of us may favour an auditory way of learning, others a visual or kinaesthetic (active learning, doing, touching, practising things).
Taking Charge In Our Dyslexia Coming to terms with our dyslexia, we may also need to learn coping strategies and proactively take care of our own needs. We may have specific dyslexia problems with processing or recalling information, organising, short attention span. Out of kilter at times, we may constantly try to connect things. We may become rigid or inflexible. Our boundaries & imaginative, creative responses can support us in adapting to & managing our dyslexia. In our dyslexic world, things can seem disordered, not make sense. We may become easily overwhelmed or confused. In order to compensate for our dyslexia we may have to work harder or check up on things. We may believe we are not good enough and our esteem may plummet. We may lack confidence, struggle to trust or accept change, because it may threaten our safety. Anxious, we may struggle to relax. In our dyslexic world, connecting & making sense of things, having some sense of order can bring about emotional relief. Counselling & psychotherapy can offer individual dyslexia support. We may also look at what structures you can put in place that specifically work for you, what helps, what doesn't, what you may need to let go of, change, take risks with. Having some clarity & a structure which works for you may be important.
