Are You Traumatized Or Neurodivergent, Or Both?

Ever wondered if you're neurodivergent or traumatized—or maybe both? The overlap between trauma symptoms and signs of neurodivergence can be confusing, even for professionals. Some people go years living with misdiagnosed conditions, unsure what’s really going on beneath the surface. This episode gently explores the blurred lines between mental health confusion, neurodivergent traits, and the long-term effects of trauma. You’re not alone if it feels hard to untangle.

Have you ever felt like something was missed or misunderstood about you?
