Stop Pushing Through: ADHD Entrepreneur Stress Turns to Trauma Fast

André, The Impulsive Thinker, sits down with Belgian therapist Raquel Devillé to break down the difference between stress and trauma, especially for the ADHD Entrepreneur. Stress is a body’s reaction to daily challenges, but when things get overwhelming—and we can’t cope—it can turn into trauma, getting stuck in the nervous system. Raquel digs into how unfinished stress cycles linger as trauma, why neurodivergent folks get disconnected from their bodies, and how somatic therapy helps untangle these stuck patterns. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re just stressed or carrying something deeper, this episode is for you.

Raquel supports her clients in managing chronic stress, anxiety, sensory overload, and social exhaustion by reconnecting with their bodies and empowering them to live authentically. Raquel’s journey began as she struggled with chronic pain, anxiety, and sensory overload, challenges that intensified after she became a mother. These difficulties made her question conventional methods of coping and inspired her to seek alternative solutions. The turning point came when she discovered practices like yoga, TRE, and Somatic Experiencing, which allowed her to manage her symptoms and embrace her neurodivergence. Through her transformation, Raquel developed the EnCorps Method, a framework that guides neurodivergent women to reconnect with their bodies and thrive on their own terms.   Connect with Raquel https://www.linkedin.com/in/raqueldeville https://www.youtube.com/@RaquelDevilleEncorps https://www.facebook.com/raquel.deville https://www.instagram.com/raqueldeville/ https://encorps.be/ https://raqueldeville.be/
