I read all these articles:

Trauma vs Autism.. vs ADHD.. vs BPD

The big learning from them is: Often, it’s both!

Its, Trauma AND Autism.. And ADHD.. And BPD

BUT, there is one big thing that I noticed:

There are a few major elements that run like a red thread through all of these conditions.

In today's video, I want to uncover these primary characteristics and unveil the CENTERED OVERLAP with you.

And I also want to answer the question: What can you do, to improve or even resolve specific symptoms caused by complex trauma and neurodivergent conditions.

I found out, that we are not fully at the mercy of our neurology.

You can read thousands of comments here on YouTube, that people LOVE to be alone.

And to be honest, that’s insane to hear from social creatures who only could evolve because they survived in groups.

BUT I get it so well. The world we live in is a f*cked up, dangerous and messy place full of people who will give a sh*t about your feelings and will hurt you.

So the suffering is damn real.

Still - when I read through those comments, I also sense a lot of desperation and frustration.

Is the only way really total self-isolation and solitude?

Today in this video we find out, WHY we isolate ourselves in the first place.

And we discuss, if there are alternatives to avoiding other people entirely and for the rest of our lives.

Is it CPTSD, Autism or HSP? Even tho the symptoms seem so clear, many people and therapists as well fail to make correct, differential diagnoses for those three. This is why today I share the clearest 5 signs, I could find for a CPTSD diagnose with you.

There are clear symptoms, that someone is having autism and is not just a highly sensitive person with cptsd.

In fact, 60 - 80 % of adults with autism are undiagnosed. Especially women older than 18 struggle with the symptoms of an autism spectrum disorder without even knowing about it.

BUT instead, many believe they’re highly sensitive people - HSPs. Or have CPTSD symptoms.

Those conditions totally have a huge overlap, but there are differences as well according to current science.

And today you will learn, which differences there are between ASD and HSP

You will learn about 15 big symptoms many autistic people typically deal with.

And you will know in the end what to do next if you identity as autistic or not.

Have you ever been in love?

And I don't talk about some butterflies in your tummy.

I speak about tremendously wanting the other person to be in your life. Fantasizing about a bright future with them as your loving partner.

You just can’t stop thinking about them and wait for their next message popping up on your phone screen.

This - is not healthy. This is obsessive infatuation.

But no worries, you can let these strong feelings go.

Today we will find out what that sensation of obsessive limerence is.

You will understand why many of us, especially if we experienced childhood trauma, feel limerent over and over again.

And you will learn how to finally let go obsessive romantic infatuation.

Ending a relationship is of course a difficult decision and a hard one

Many people put this decision off for a long time.

I'm not here to tell you to end your relationship.

Even if that's how it's portrayed in the intro to the shrinking episode.

But sometimes it just takes a few facts to make you reconsider your decision.

If you're in a toxic relationship characterized by emotional or even physical abuse, please think about yourself (and your kids) first.

I know there are some people out there who don't realize until it's way too late that their partner is a narcissist or abusive. If there are already children and a family home involved, it becomes difficult. But even then, there are solutions that you may not even see at first. Don't forget that.
