Today, I tell you the story of Betty.

If you can identify yourself with her story, you now may have an answer: You could be someone with Childhood Trauma and Adult ADHD.

To help you gain clarity, today, I will present to you 7 clear signs that you have both of these conditions.

I also want to explore how a traumatic childhood can activate ADHD in adults.

And in the end, I want to discuss solutions and treatments for people who are affected.

If you think you may have CPTSD and ADHD, stay with me, because this one can be truly helpful for you.
