The Overexcitabilities Workbook —
Clinician & Coach Edition
For many neurodivergent clients, intensities can feel like both a strength and a struggle. Emotional depth, sensory sharpness, or bursts of intellectual energy may fuel creativity and insight—and at the same time, lead to overwhelm or burnout.
The Overexcitabilities Workbook (Clinician & Coach Edition) was created to help practitioners support clients in exploring and caring for these traits with intention and compassion.
Developed by Dr. Megan Anna Neff (neurodivergent psychologist) and Kaylyn Gray (2e AuDHD artist and NDI team member), this resource blends research, lived experience, and creative design. Kaylyn’s original self-care framework for managing her own intensities brings a playful, fresh energy to the workbook, while Dr. Neff’s clinical insight grounds it in neurodivergent-affirming care.
Together, we’ve crafted a tool that is both practical and engaging—an invitation for clients to honor their intensities while building balanced self-care strategies that truly fit their lives.
Inside the Workbook
✦ An introduction to overexcitabilities (OEs), their history, and their role in gifted and neurodivergent life
✦ Clear explanations of the five OEs—emotional, intellectual, imaginational, psychomotor, and sensory—with reflective prompts
✦ Worksheets to help clients discover their OE profile and notice how intensities show up day-to-day
✦ A self-care framework that uses OEs as a guide for building personalized, sustainable strategies
✦ Creative practices to nurture OEs and channel their energy in supportive ways
✦ Grounding tools and antidotes for moments when intensities feel overwhelming
