ADHD and Trauma
You’re not alone in this…
You’ve been feeling alone and struggling for so long, feeling like a hopeless burden. You want a life of balance and flow, but you can’t muster the energy to get on track. Those around you are confused about why you seem to do so well with things that interest you but can’t take care of the basic needs in your life. They don’t see the constant inner battle of difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, anxiety that plagues your days, and the constant background buzz of irritation that you’re constantly working to mask. You can sense everyone’s annoyance with you, which simultaneously causes you anger and feelings of worthlessness.
In truth, it’s not your fault that you have a disability that affects your executive functioning, and although ADHD has its struggles, you also possess a wide variety of strengths and talents. Your creative hyperfocus allows you to problem-solve and innovate more quickly than others. Your passion, curiosity, and spontaneity allow you to connect with others in unconventional ways. Due to your unique abilities, you can tap into your innate healing wisdom.
At Boketto Center, we understand that many with ADHD have also experienced trauma. Living in a neurotypical world that doesn’t value different neurotypes creates disconnection, prejudice, and dehumanization. We are committed to providing a neurodiverse-affirming therapy space where you feel safe unmasking while allowing you to be your most authentic self. Our clinicians will ally with you in creating a lifestyle that works for you through nervous system regulation, executive functioning skills, and developing resiliency.
Through evidence-based practices, empowerment, and attunement, we will help you navigate the various emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges associated with ADHD and trauma.
Holistic Healing and Empowerment
We recognize that healing encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach to therapy integrates various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-focused therapies. By addressing the interconnectedness of ADHD, trauma, and overall well-being, we aim to empower clients to develop adaptive thinking patterns, enhance emotional regulation skills, foster healthy relationships, manage stress, and cultivate self-compassion.
We’re always on your side whether you’re interested in exploring holistic approaches to ADHD treatment, including, but not limited to, movement, nutrition, and functional medicine, or if you’re interested in exploring conventional therapies such as medication management or neurofeedback. We’re here to provide the education, tools, and resources to support you in creating your unique recipe for success.
