Send us Fan Mail

What happens when you finally see yourself reflected on screen? This week, Lana sits down with Audrey to discuss her life-changing 2023 autism diagnosis after watching Love on the Spectrum. Audrey opens up about her experience with functional seizures/FND and how specific trauma-linked cues—from family conflict to certain tones of voice—became seizure triggers. We also dive into why therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting offered the breakthrough that traditional talk therapy couldn't.
