Do you believe what you’re thinking about your past?

Are you convinced that what you know about your childhood is true?

Well, then this episode might be a brainwash for you, because what I’m telling you today is that the truth that you might believe is actually a lie.

Because - and many don’t know about this - if you experienced childhood trauma in your past, your memories from these tough times might be fragmented, buried, or disrupted - and your brain did that, to protect you.

So in this video, we will uncover how trauma causes altered memory and memory disorders.

How this can cause issues with attention and focus (and how that might be linked to ADHD)

And we talk about what you can do specifically about issues with memory and attention.
