Belonging to Myself
For those of us who are gifted or neurodivergent or both. Healing the wound of losing ourselves to fit in, always turning towards belonging to ourselves. Posts, tools and practices. My story, and my son Sam's story.
“For every differently wired child who has been harmed by school systems, and for every parent raising such a child, Davina's work will bring you great comfort. She writes with candor and honesty about losing her son Sam after significant school-related trauma, and the ways in which we can prevent these tragedies from happening to others. I highly, highly recommend her!”...”

“I love Davinia's memoir! She's brilliant. I enjoy reading about what it's like to be the really smart (and smart-mouthed) girl in class. She's honest and daring. I think I might want to be her in my next lifetime.

This publication speaks to anyone who has witnessed the harm caused when sensitivity and difference are misread — and who senses that learning should be rooted in belonging rather than compliance. A powerful, humane invitation to reimagine how children are seen and supported.”...”
