The Intricate Relationship Between Trauma and ADHD The ADHD Kids Can Thrive Podcast
-
- Parenting
My guest is Amy Pagett, a trauma-informed coach, and an elementary school teacher. As a trauma survivor who suspected she had ADHD in adulthood, Amy shares her unique perspective on the intricate relationship between trauma and ADHD, the mirror-like symptoms between both conditions and her journey of overcoming the confusing overlap.
We analyze the high susceptibility of those with ADHD to develop PTSD post-traumatic events and emphasize the crucial need for awareness, understanding, and support for such individuals. Further, we reveal Amy's invaluable insights on her role as a trauma coach, her divergent approach from regular therapists, and the power of adopting client-centered methodologies for managing trauma in the present.
Amy expounds on the practice of breathwork for self-regulation and as a tool for centering oneself in the body, exemplifying its practical usage with her students. She emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion in dealing with those affected by trauma and ADHD, underlining their role in enhancing the healing process.
