Are Neurodivergence, Trauma & Narcissism Linked?

[@svanhildnordbjrn5297]

This is so interesting to me!🤔 I just started to see a psychologist to finally get to talk about the trauma caused by beeing raised as an only child of a mother diagnosed with manic depression, that exhalted into schisofreny and eventually early alzheimer. She died 2 years ago, and now, at the age of 48, I finally have the strenght and energy to really try to get the best trauma treatment possible for my self. I had seen the psychologist 3 times, and the fourth time I was there she asked me the quiestion; isn't it exhausting to talk so fast and to move so fast around in your head". Yes, I talked fast and a lot to get to tell my 48 years story, and all the trauma from cracy experiences in relation with my mother, and later on abusive and narcissistic partner(s). No wonder as she charges 150 $ an hour; have to tell as mutch as possible in the least amount of time😂 But I then asked her," why? Do you think I have ADHD? "She said she had a test for that, that I could take at home. For some reason this does not sit right with me, I dont think I have ADHD...At least, It is not ADHD I need treatement for, its my trauma. Seems to easy to just go for a ADHD diagnosis...Sorry about my English spelling, I'm not a native😅 Just felt like getting this of my chest🤔 And I felt like you put into words what I was thinking, about pinning trauma symtomes to a potential ADHD diagnosis. Thank you for great content by the way❤

I have had ADHD my whole life and much of it has been exacerbated by past trauma, making every day feel like a struggle against a wave of distractions and ruminating thoughts. I have been to therapy and have taken meds for it, but it’s been futile as everytime I try to control it, my past trauma would disrupt my progress. It’s tough enough living with ADHD, however the emotional chaos makes it even harder.

I feel so sorry for you! But....let me tell you it is possible to get away from that! I am 53 and was married to a narcissist for 33 years...last year I got away with nearly nothing,just a bunch of clothes ...lived in a womens shelter for half a year and now have my own flat...Healing from narcissistic abuse is a very long way, but,please never give up!!!

Thank you Caroline. This is so interesting and relevant to what is happening in schools. Many UK children are now being diagnosed with ADHD and sadly the schools are often struggling to be able to manage classrooms to accommodate their needs. It is such a difficult journey for the students with ADHD, parents (who may be discovering they have ADHD) and sometimes also for the teachers who will often be carrying trauma or possibly ADHD as well. It is brilliant to have described ADHD as just one part of the IFS and to have identified the overlapping symptoms of ADHD (or other diagnoses) with trauma and how they may become inter-connected due to internal processing. I have seen that teaching children to somatically regulate their nervous system will help them be able to self-regulate which increases their self-esteem so that they can access the learning and school situation better. The world we live in is difficult and who doesn’t carry trauma? I hope your video goes viral so that everybody can become aware so that everybody can begin healing ❤‍🩹
