Groups

This parent group is for you who have a neurodivergent child (ADHD, autism, PDA profile, or similar), and who experience that the effort is high – but the effect is absent.

In the group we work together on your specific situations:

• we start from actual events from your everyday life
• we look at what happened, what the child needed in that specific situation, and what you can do differently next time
• we work with situations such as school refusal, social withdrawal, entrenched screen use, and conflictual transitions

At the same time we work on the overarching level:

• what expectations it is realistic to have of your child in different situations
• how you can set limits without escalating
• how children develop resilience, self-regulation, and independence over time

This is not a general parenting course approach. It is practical work, situation by situation, together with other parents who also face pressure between outside advice and their child's actual needs. The parent group is led by Lill Monika Limyr-Grimeland, specialist psychologist, and Merete Grimeland, experience consultant, mother with ADHD and part of a neurodivergent family.

The goal of the group

The goal is children who:

• gradually come more into contact with the world again
• tolerate resistance and discomfort
• develop skills to function in daily life and eventually take care of themselves

And parents who:

• know what to do when things are at a breaking point
• no longer have to explain and defend themselves all the time
• actually see movement – not just standstill

This is a parent group for you who want concrete answers to concrete situations, and at the same time understand why some strategies produce better development than others – in the long run.

We meet one afternoon a week, every other week, 6 times in total. One and a half hours are set aside per session. One and a half hours is equivalent to two regular therapy sessions, and normally costs 3000 NOK. As a group participant (per parent couple) it costs 1500 NOK per session. To ensure that the group is useful and safe, it is very important that everyone attends as often as possible. You will therefore be invoiced regardless of attendance, unless you have a doctor's certificate.

Start requires a minimum of 5 participants.

I now offer group therapy focusing on the issues and challenges encountered when one has received an Asperger diagnosis in adulthood.

Here you have the chance to meet others in the same situation as you, to share experiences and difficulties, and to get help and support in the transition to adapting to an Asperger diagnosis.
