ADHD or Trauma--Which is Really Playing Tricks on You?

Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess

Hello, everybody! Welcome back to Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess. In this episode, I'm diving into a question that many of us have pondered: Is it ADHD or trauma?

As someone who has lived with undiagnosed ADHD, I fully acknowledge the validity of neurodivergent experiences. But what if some of the symptoms we attribute to ADHD are actually responses to trauma? In this episode, I share my personal journey and insights into how trauma can affect our brain's neuroplasticity, impacting everything from emotional regulation to daily functioning.

Join me as we explore how early life traumas might mimic or even exacerbate ADHD symptoms. We'll discuss the science behind trauma's impact on the brain and body, and how working through past traumas can lead to a noticeable decrease in those symptoms. This episode is all about understanding the intricate interplay between ADHD and trauma, and how healing one can often alleviate the other.

Whether you're navigating life with ADHD, recovering from trauma, or simply curious about the connection between the two, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips for your wellness journey.
