  • E73: The ties that bind: ADHD, generational trauma and healing, with Christina and Katie
    Oct 28 2024

    Today your hosts psychotherapists Christina Crowe and Katie Richardson, love making invisible things visible. Today we are talking about intergenerational trauma and ADHD. We talk through various things related to intergenerational trauma, emotional disconnect, and intergenerational relationships.

    1. How does intergenerational trauma impact subsequent generations?

    2. What is the correlation between trauma and ADHD?

    3. How can we bridge the communication gap between different generations?
