Escaping Yourself: Trauma's Role in Adult ADHD


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt delves into the intricate relationship between adult ADD and trauma. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, Brianne passionately argues that many adults diagnosed with ADD may actually be grappling with unresolved trauma that manifests in similar symptoms. She shares her own journey with ADHD, discussing how her past experiences shaped her present and how healing from trauma has transformed her ability to focus and engage with life.

Throughout the episode, Brianne breaks down the signs of trauma and how they can overlap with ADD symptoms, such as impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and difficulties in concentrating. She emphasizes the importance of addressing these underlying issues rather than relying solely on medication, which can often mask the root cause of the problem. With a blend of empathy and expertise, Brianne encourages listeners to reflect on their own histories and consider how unresolved trauma may be influencing their lives.

This episode serves as a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and understanding the connection between trauma and ADD can lead to profound personal growth. Join Brianne as she guides you through this crucial conversation, offering insights and strategies for navigating the complexities of trauma and attention disorders.
