I read all these articles:

Trauma vs Autism.. vs ADHD.. vs BPD

The big learning from them is: Often, it’s both!

Its, Trauma AND Autism.. And ADHD.. And BPD

BUT, there is one big thing that I noticed:

There are a few major elements that run like a red thread through all of these conditions.

In today's video, I want to uncover these primary characteristics and unveil the CENTERED OVERLAP with you.

And I also want to answer the question: What can you do, to improve or even resolve specific symptoms caused by complex trauma and neurodivergent conditions.

I found out, that we are not fully at the mercy of our neurology.
