The Truth About Brilliant, Differently Wired Brains (And the Trauma Response I Never Saw Coming)

Send us a text

Last week, I shared how receiving an ADHD diagnosis changed my life. But what if that label, as helpful as it was, didn’t tell the whole story?

I left you on a cliffhanger: what WAS the insight I received, via my son  that changed everything?!

So much so that I had to stop taking ADHD medication - because I started to react to it like someone who does NOT have ADHD. It's time to spill the beans.

I share the conversation with a psychologist which unearthed something I wasn’t expecting—and triggered a profound trauma response I didn't understand - yet.

What followed was a deep exploration of neurodivergence, identity, and the complexities of how some of us are wired to see and feel the world.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt intense, different, or like their brilliance doesn’t quite fit the mould. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a hidden layer to your challenges—or your gifts—you’ll want to listen to this.

There's so much more to come because this is a rich, transformative conversation that I am still synthesising - and I'm starting to bring you right into it what I've been exploring.

DON'T want to wait a whole week to hear the EXACT realisation I had and prefer the raw, emotional version of this story? Of course you do! Sign up to watch it here - complete with unexpected tears AND an accidental f- bomb: https://alignandattract.com/story
