Autistic pattern loops trapping you? Dr. Tony Iezzi (35+ years clinical psychologist, Reenactments co-author) shares: From Vietnam vets to ND challenges, his therapy framework—awareness (spot themes like rejection/abandonment), regulate physiology (walks/music to calm revved systems), and interrupt habits (new actions over rage/stewing)—breaks unconscious reenactments from childhood chaos. For autistic/ADHD young adults reacting to environments, parents modeling reflection, or allies fostering tools, this convo's your toolkit—journaling for insight, themes over events ("Treat sensitivities, not specifics").

Stuck in autistic trauma reenactments? Dr. Tony Iezzi unpacks 35+ years treating pain/trauma: Reenactments framework—awareness (unconscious habits from childhood), physiology regulation (walks/music for revved ND systems), theme targeting (abandonment/rejection/bullying over events)—breaks loops for better quality of life. ND applications: Physiology caps (autism/ADD at 100% = no problem-solving), environments amplify sensitivities (dysregulated homes = harder coping). For late-dx young adults reacting automatically, parents interrupting cycles (change adult first), or OTs modeling reflection/journaling, Tony's "themes repeat across situations—target them" flips reactivity to strategy. From Adulting with Autism podcast: OT-aligned for executive/sensory patterns, parenting power shifts, habit-building.
