Thank you 🙏 This is the most comprehensive information on ADHD & trauma I've ever come across. Not only was it extremely validating to be understood Truly understood I cried. I wish the people around me could understand & inform themselves instead of judging & labeling me. I can feel & see how they criticise & take the piss out of me, I can also see it is projection of their own flaws & insecurities. Of course they wouldn't even take the time to watch something like this because they are not interested in the why & wherefore of why I am like I am but merely a scapegoat to take the focus off themselves
We’ve known people that respond emotionally and logically at the same time. Not very many, mind you, but there are those that can respond to situations like that. Stress and trauma can affect people differently, even though stress can come from trauma and vice versus. 🧐🤔 Very good episode Doc 😎💪🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for your thoughtful insights and kind words! You’re absolutely right-some people do have a unique ability to blend emotional and logical responses, which can be a powerful skill, especially in challenging situations. As you pointed out, stress and trauma impact each person differently, which makes understanding these mind-body strategies so valuable in tailoring what works for each individual. I’m glad you enjoyed the episode! Is there a particular aspect of mind-body connection or a strategy that resonated with you? I’d love to hear more about what stood out, and I’m always open to suggestions for future topics too!
Wow thanks for your amazing content what are the chances of having ADHD if you have dyslexia? I wasn’t someone who struggled with sitting still but definitely struggle with impulsivity and emotional regulation along with people pleasing.
Thank you for sharing such a raw and honest reflection. It sounds like you’ve been through an incredibly challenging journey, and reaching a place where you can recognize your strength and resilience is truly powerful. Living with the weight of a complex family history and navigating the impact it’s had on your sense of self is no small feat, and the grief that accompanies this kind of self-discovery can be exhausting-physically and emotionally. Allowing yourself to feel that grief and to rest after intense “episodes” is important; it’s your body’s way of processing and healing from deeply rooted pain. It’s remarkable that you’re beginning to understand more about yourself, even in the midst of so much hardship. If there’s any specific area where you’d like support or strategies, please let me know. You’re doing an incredible job of holding space for your own growth, and that’s something to be very proud of.
@ thanks for the support. My dad is a people pleaser and I never felt heard in my interactions and I became addicted to pornography (quit now), video games anything to numb out from life. I am now in therapy and trying to reparent myself and at the age of 43 this isn’t easy. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
That’s a thought-provoking perspective! The concept of free will-or lack thereof-is a deep and often debated topic, especially in the context of ADHD, addiction, and trauma. When we look at how brain chemistry, past experiences, and learned responses shape our behavior, it can sometimes feel like we’re not entirely in control. But understanding these influences also gives us insight into strategies that can help us regain a sense of agency and make more intentional choices over time. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on this-do you find it empowering to explore how biology and environment shape behavior, or does it feel more limiting?
