Have you ever left a party feeling completely drained while everyone else seemed energised? Do you long to be alone more, but struggle to say no to others because you feel guilty? Do you find yourself people-pleasing, or masking, or feeling that everyone else has a map to the social landscape that you don't? If the answer to these questions is a resounding yes, I Need My Space (But I Like You Too!) by neurodivergent psychotherapist Alice Bramhill is for you.
“This book is probably the most comprehensive one I’ve found on how we can better understand our inner selves and in turn, our relationships. It’s filled with real, relatable support that feels both relevant and needed. It holds that space throughout as we begin to rediscover something many of us have lost—ourselves.”
Eliza Fricker-Missing The Mark, The Sunday Times bestselling author of Can’t Not Won’t
“Alice Bramhill brings a beautifully neuroaffirming lens to relationships, boundaries and self understanding. I especially loved the focus on social energy, sensory reality and nervous system safety. A practical, neuroaffirming book that says connection should not cost you yourself.”
Dr Emma Offord - Clinical Psychologist
“This book is a beautiful, insightful guide to our relationships but also, to better understanding ourselves and our neurodivergent minds. Alice writes with deep knowledge, experience and compassion. A must-read for every neurodivergent adult - diagnosed, self-diagnosed, wondering - and anyone who is curious about how it feels to be neurodivergent.”
Annie Ridout - Author, Journalist and poet
"A much needed relational roadmap for the neurodivergent experience.
Alice has written the book that has been missing. More than a collection of tools and strategies, this is a deeply thoughtful synthesis of clinical expertise and lived experience, brought together in a way that makes complex relational dynamics feel both understandable and actionable. I need my space offers a powerful reframe of what meaningful and authentic connection can look and feel like. This is the book the neurodivergent community have been waiting for.”
