Episode 037: In part two of the
ADHD & Trauma series, we continue a vital conversation at the intersection of ADHD and trauma. Ron Souers, strengths coach and host of
Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, takes us beyond diagnosis and deep into the nervous system. In this episode, he unpacks how trauma isn't just a memory—it's something that gets stored in our bodies. It's in your reactions, your relationships, your breath.
Featuring insights from Dr. Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, and Bessel van der Kolk, this episode offers raw storytelling, body-based truth, and a path toward fierce self-compassion. And if you've ever wondered why a small moment sets off a massive response—this episode will hit home.
