Scientists now know on a biochemical level exactly how parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains.

We can talk about patterns of suffering using diagnostic terms, but they aren't the same as an identity. Labels might assist with safety and treatment, but they can also make people feel bad about themselves. It’s hard to know how to utilize them well since our knowledge changes as new facts and experiences come to light. Compassionate treatment that is founded on evidence values both persons and data.

Anyone who has suffered from trauma knows what it means to have sleepless nights. In fact, research has shown that at the heart of both trauma and sleep disorders is a dysregulated brainstem with heightened sympathetic nervous system activity. Yet, current trauma treatments largely ignore this profound interconnection between trauma and sleep. Putting Trauma to Sleep proposes that incorporating a therapeutic TABS model (traumatic events, attachment disturbances, bodily symptoms, sleep repair), therapists can better aid their clients in both healing from trauma and restoring sleep.

For years, I struggled in romantic relationships—trapped in people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, and emotional disconnection. I didn’t know how to set boundaries, communicate honestly, or feel safe being myself. Like many people living with the effects of relational trauma, I was stuck in survival mode—longing for intimacy but afraid to be truly seen.

Unlike your redneck uncle, ADHD does not discriminate. It only appears that it does because the boys are the ones getting handed out diagnoses like funnel cakes at the county fair. Girls with ADHD are daydreaming out the window, their attention caught by a passing butterfly. Their brand of ADHD is creating turtle ballets while a teacher drones on about the rules of subtraction. These girls are armchair diagnosed as "lazy, slow, odd, daydreamer, anxiety riddled, etc."
