309: Pathological Demand Avoidance with Diane Gould

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET welcome Diane Gould to the podcast to discuss Pathological Demand Avoidance. She shares how she got interested in PDA, her involvement with bringing awareness to the USA, and how behavioral strategies don’t typically work for those with PDA. She explains how for those who have PDA it’s  a matter of “can’t not won’t.” She shares some ideas about how to support those with PDA including building trust, prioritizing connection, collaboration through partnership and sharing demands.
