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.”

In this episode of 'Emotional Health Matters', clinical director Kim Sargent takes a deep dive into the link between early chaos and ADHD.
