For many of us with ADHD we live and swear by having Routines to make our lives simpler, more manageable.  They do make life better but sometimes they can get in the way when our lives change!  Whether by force or by accident, creating a new routine and saying goodbye to old ones can be very stressful and frustrating for us.  Listen to this podcast and see how routines made my life...

Being diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for many is not an easy thing to accept.  We don't really believe that it's something that would happen to us and we look for other explanations and pretend to ourselves that we don't really have it.  But ultimately in order to begin the process of healing and moving forward in life we need to accept our condition and stay posit...

having CPTSD is not an easy disorder to deal with as all the different issues and complex triggers that often happen can create debilitating results.  ADHD often makes you feel like you're missing out, you don't understand what's happening in your world and causes frustration everyday and for some that can be as easy as snapping your fingers!

Being blended with your child parts is a very difficult thing to recognize and even more difficult to acknowledge and accept. When you are blended the adult believes that he/she is the child and he/she believes what the child has to say and this can cause damage in your life, to your relationships and even to your career!
