ADHD and Childhood Chaos: Unraveling the Connection

Our nervous system is trained to respond to intensity period. As we begin to orient to the external world, we lose touch with the internal world, and in doing that we also lose our ability. We diminish- not lose, but diminish- our ability to be able to actually ground ourselves in a very real way and focus in a very real way.
Have you ever wondered how a chaotic childhood might shape your brain? In this episode of 'Emotional Health Matters', clinical director Kim Sargent takes a deep dive into the link between early chaos and ADHD. Drawing from her expertise in Neural Network Therapy®, Kim explains how an unstable upbringing can influence brain development, potentially leading to an ADHD diagnosis later in life.
Through the fascinating concepts of neuroplasticity and dendrite growth, she highlights how the brain adapts to its environment and why a chaotic one can have lasting impacts. But it's not all doom and gloom. Kim shares practical strategies for creating a calming environment and retraining the brain to focus on what truly matters.
From accelerated learning programs to the unique benefits of Neural Network Therapy®, she offers actionable advice for managing ADHD symptoms and tapping into the strengths of an ADHD brain. Whether you're dealing with ADHD yourself, supporting a loved one, or just curious about the topic, this episode provides valuable insights and tools for navigating life's chaos with a clearer mind.
