Research increasingly links ADHD and early trauma. Skills training alone often fails because early experiences (related to ADHD and not) haven't been healed. That's why Dr. Bike goes beyond talk therapy and strategies.
Big and little trauma can affect a growing nervous system. Executive functions are often impacted. Unsupportive teachers. Emotionally immature or uninformed parents. Bullying by peers. The list goes on. Effective therapy takes the whole person and their whole history into consideration.
Negative self-talk, anxiety, and shame can make managing ADHD even harder. Addressing early experiences can lay the solid foundation that many who have or suspect ADHD need to live the lives they want.
Dr. Bike uses somatic- and compassion-focused methods like Internal Family Systems (IFS). These treatments address root issues that talk therapy and skills training try to bypass.
