In this episode of ADHD Her Way, clinical psychologist Johanna joined by Dr Emma-Leigh Senyard to explore the complex relationship between trauma, neurodivergence and the nervous system.
We unpack why trauma doesn’t always look the way we expect it to, how chronic dysregulation can show up in the body, and why recognising our patterns and early warning signs can be so important, particularly for neurodivergent people who may not notice what their body needs until they’re already running on empty.
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that nervous system regulation isn’t about being calm all the time.
It’s about becoming more aware of what your nervous system is communicating, recognising your patterns earlier, and building a toolkit that helps you respond to what you actually need.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this my ADHD? Is this trauma? Am I burnt out? Or is my nervous system just completely cooked?” this conversation is for you.
