ADHD medication is not a gateway drug. In fact, teens and adults who seek treatment for their ADHD symptoms are much less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol than are their undiagnosed, untreated counterparts.

We often assume “processing trauma” looks the same for everyone: sit in therapy, talk it through, feel the emotions. But for many people, simply remembering can reopen the wound.

When the body doesn’t yet feel safe, the brain can’t tell the difference between past and present. The amygdala fires, stress hormones surge, and you’re no longer remembering - you’re reliving.

That’s why trauma processing has to be personalized.
Some people need to start with somatic work to bring the body out of survival mode.

Others need modalities like EMDR, parts-oriented therapy, or neurofeedback to help the brain safely rewire the memory.

Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “face it.” It’s about creating the safety and support that allow your system to integrate it.

Because when your body no longer treats the memory as a threat - that’s when remembering becomes rewiring and healing begins.
