E200 - HSP/ASD/ADHD & CPTSD: Is Almost Every Neurodivergent Person Traumatized?

3/10/2024
Almost 70 % of children experience at least 1 traumatic event before reaching age 16. Parallel to that, highly sensitive children and children with autism or ADHD tend to experience traumatic events more often and as more severe. BUT does that automatically mean, that they’re also more likely to develop symptoms of a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Today, we will shed some light on the question: “Is almost every neurodivergent person also traumatized?” We will therefore discuss - Why neurodivergents might be at higher risk to develop trauma wounds - And also what maybe makes neurodivergent children and adults more resistant to traumatic events? ► Links and Resources: Traumatic Events and CPTSD in Childhood: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17485609/ Trauma and ASD Review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6901292/ Trauma and ADHD: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006322322015219 Trauma and SPS: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886921006577 Syrian Children and Trauma: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30630553/ Dr. Elaine Aron's Comment: https://hsperson.com/are-highly-sensitive-people-more-prone-to-illness/ ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

E198 - HSP & Trauma vs. Autism/ADHD: 5 Signs It's CPTSD, Not ASD/ADHD

2/25/2024
"I was first diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder, at age 35 I was diagnosed with Autism and then my therapist told me I have ADHD as well." I read a ton of these comments here on YouTube. BUT there is one big problem: I suppose that many of them are far from the truth. In fact, the reason for many symptoms people experience might be actually childhood wounds and trauma. To prove that, today, we will define, what complex trauma actually is (and that most people have a completely wrong understanding of it), We will discuss, if many people really use autistic masking, or maybe do something else? ;) Find out, if it’s actually ADHD caused inattentiveness or another learned pattern And we will debunk many more typical autism and ADHD related symptoms ► Links and Resources: Adult Survivors of Childhood Trauma: https://www1.racgp.org.au/getattachment/79710ca4-e98e-46aa-8f8f-d5f763ea8ef4/Adult-survivors-of-childhood-trauma.aspx Trauma or ASD: https://www.communityservices.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/2316981/Trauma-Vs-ASD.pdf ASD Treatment: https://elemy.wpengine.com/aba-therapy/most-effective-treatments ASD and CPTSD: https://neurodivergentinsights.com/autism-infographics/autismandtrauma ADHD Treatment: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/treatment/ ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

E197 - Hyposensitivity vs. HSP/Hypersensitivity: Can They Co-Exist?

Being hypersensitive is easy to recognize. A heightened perception of incoming stimuli causes a quick reaction and high emotional activity. BUT what about hyposensitive people?

E195 - Meltdown, Shutdown, Burnout in Autism & HSP: 5 Steps to Re-Regulate

2/4/2024
Our society has no idea what a meltdown actually is and why it manifests itself in an uncontrollable emotional outburst, resulting in a shutdown or burnout. Therefore today we will uncover what meltdown, shutdown and burnout are in people with autism or highly sensitive people. We will discuss the role of the central nervous system within the whole phenomenon. And in the end we will look at a 5 steps process to re-regulate meltdowns, shutdowns and burnouts in adult people with autism or SPS. Let me tell you one thing upfront: What I can conclude so far is, that meltdowns, shutdowns and burnouts become rarer the older people get and the more they learn to re-regulate their nervous system. So there definitely are ways to handle it. ► Links and Resources: Polyvagal Model: https://i0.wp.com/counsellinghongkong.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/bundleofnervesl.jpg?resize=1200%2C1200&ssl=1 Ladder Model: https://counsellinginhamilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Polyvagal-Ladder-NICAB.png Autistic Meltdown: https://youtu.be/86_SQzT5Kpg?si=fNyXA61uWPRCcVrM Billy from Neeson’s Story: https://youtu.be/IXkXseLHSl0?si=K0FhrugJNWhgRpaj Burnout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_burnout EMDR: https://youtu.be/DALbwI7m1vM?si=DiR7CUkU96xG9URQ PVT Video: https://youtu.be/2iT8Msp8Vx0?si=4Sd1FywN7ta-1Ip- Autistic Women Undiagnosed: https://youtu.be/nAfqKQNrlmg?si=WeXMBYhTYA8N4pvE Autism vs HSP: https://youtu.be/RXd7r5wV5CQ?si=g0Om9xNuhJOB8lIx CPTSD: https://youtu.be/rc4NqZQV5hA?si=iBBvcF2C2ZOlmhRU ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

E192 - Why 86 % of New Year's Resolutions Fail (and How to Succeed)

1/8/2024
In a German study, 80% of respondents stated that their New Year's resolutions would last a maximum of 2 months. If we subtract a few liars from the rest and boom, we are left with a very large number of around 86 % of resolutions that fail every year. But why do only less than 20% of people manage to stick to their New Year's resolutions at all? Is there a secret force that prevents us from keeping our resolutions? Or are we humans simply not made to keep good New Year's resolutions? Today we decode the real reason why almost all New Year's resolutions fail. We tackle the question of why we humans find it so incredibly difficult to stay true to our resolutions. And at the end of the video, we look at what you can do differently to get ahead of the 86% of those who don't make it this year. There are a few tricks we can use to trick our brain into actually keeping our resolutions. ► Links and Resources: Statista Study: https://de.statista.com/infografik/20354/zeitraum-den-die-befragten-ihre-guten-vorsaetze-einhalten/ New Year's Statistics: https://www.driveresearch.com/market-research-company-blog/new-years-resolutions-statistics/ SMART Method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

E191 - NEURODIVERGENT PANDEMIC: Why Everyone Suddenly has Autism & ADHD

12/30/2023
In fact 1 - 2 % of people are diagnosed with Autism. That’s between 80 to 160 million world wide. 6 - 7 % are diagnosed with ADHD. That’s another half a billion. And 20 % of population is considered to be highly sensitive. Another 2 billion. Not considering all the other people facing anxiety, depression or other conditions. Using medical literature, we label a majority of them as “mentally ill”, just like having heart disease or diabetes and treat them with modern medication and pharmaceutical drugs. We must admit the disastrous fact that today we reached a point in our society where we might have created widespread illness by ourselves. Neurotypical equality, functionality and meritocracy are the norm that we trust. Diagnostic manuals such as the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) are our holy bible. Official institutions like the American Psychiatric Association are our church. From this angle, we have long since found ourselves in a global pandemic of mental illness that is continuously spreading. The Neurodivergence pandemic. But how could we reach the point where suddenly so many of us face diagnosable mental disorders? Is everyone of us today mentally ill? ► Links and Resources: Elon Musk: https://theconversation.com/elon-musk-how-being-autistic-may-make-him-think-differently-194228 Emma Watson: https://www.facebook.com/adhdfoundation/photos/a.1496504137265052/1608152719433526/?type=3&theatre Mental illness definition: https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/what-is-mental-illness History of mental disorders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_disorder#History Neurodiversity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodiversity Autism Rights Movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_rights_movement Transgenerational trauma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgenerational_trauma War children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_children DSM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders ICD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICD-11 ADHD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder Diagnostic criteria autism: https://pages.uoregon.edu/eherman/teaching/texts/DSM-I%20-%20DSM-IV%20diagnostic%20criteria.pdf Making money statement: https://karger.com/pps/article-abstract/75/3/154/282469/Financial-Ties-between-DSM-IV-Panel-Members-and?redirectedFrom=fulltext Fashion diagnoses: https://www.autismusspektrum.info/post/wunschdiagnose-bzw-modediagnose-autismus-bei-erwachsenen ► Subscribe On Your Favorite Platform!

We also discuss the limits of IFS and how we can use somatic approaches to get even deeper. ► Links and Resources: Ethan's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@becoming_conscious Ethan's Becoming Conscious Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oqTRbIXMAtLrKQ48k0pNp?si=f20c4ca4bbe24f91 Ethan's Website: https://becomeconscious.substack.com/ IFS-Therapy: https://ifs-institute.com/ Dr. Richard Schwartz: https://youtu.be/DdZZ7sTX840?si=_z0QwvQ2Q-4BHiUE ► Subscribe On Your Favourite Platform!
