I’ve been digging into these topics for years now:

Trauma, specifically Complex PTSD,

Neurodivergence, aka Autism and ADHD

and also Depression, the number one mental health struggle of our sick society.

And here’s what hit me:

Even though these conditions seem totally different…

they all have one surprising thing in common.

There’s a hidden overlap — and most people, including professionals, miss it.

But here’s the twist that is interesting for YOU and me:

That overlap doesn’t just explain why so many of us are misdiagnosed…

…it also reveals a whole new way to actually manage and heal what you’re going through.

And I’ll show you exactly how at the end of this episode, after we dived into each of these three.
