112 - Childhood Trauma & ADHD w/ Kristen Carder
Is it ADHD, complex PTSD or both? Distinguishing between the two can be challenging for several reasons:Overlapping symptoms: Both ADHD and PTSD share some common symptoms, such as difficulties with concentration, impulsivity, irritability, and restlessness. These overlapping symptoms can make it difficult to differentiate between the two conditions based solely on observed behaviors.Co-occurring conditions: ADHD and PTSD can coexist in the same individual. It is not uncommon for someone with PTSD to also have ADHD or vice versa. The presence of multiple conditions can complicate the diagnostic process and make it harder to attribute specific symptoms to one disorder.Trauma-related factors: Traumatic experiences, which are central to PTSD, can also impact attention, cognitive functioning, and emotional regulation. The cognitive and emotional effects of trauma can resemble symptoms of ADHD, leading to misinterpretation or misdiagnosis.Developmental considerations: Both ADHD and PTSD can have onset during childhood or adolescence. Some symptoms associated with ADHD, such as inattention and hyperactivity, can be mistakenly attributed to trauma-related difficulties in concentration and arousal regulation.In today's episode I am joined by Kirsten Carder, the host of the I Have ADHD podcast. She helps adults with ADHD create the life that they’ve always wanted in her coaching program, Focused. She has been living life with ADHD and accomplishing everything she set her mind to, and now she’s dedicating her life to helping other adults with ADHD do the same thing.⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱 www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh7Xpv3Ov-4&pp=ygUZYWRoZCBrZW5kcmljayBsYW1hciByZW1peA%3D%3D (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only)Our Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out PharmaNutra and use my code ADULTCHILD for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
