ADHD Chatter · Trauma Expert: 3 Oddly Specific ADHD Trauma Issues · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

It's panic stations immediately.

And it's engulfing and overwhelming.

And I do think that the combination of abuse or bullying, as well as ADHD and autism, really

creates a super-duper alarm, where the toast isn't even in the toaster and the alarm's going off.

So I think there's levels of it.

I think the problem is that you have with the ADHD.

So if you think of the brain in two halves, so right side being more emotional, creative, imaginative, and the left side being all the sort of more analysis, logic, organization.

When the executive function isn't working as efficiently as we would like anyway, and then there's this emotional flooding, right?

Well, let's say it's hard to remain rational and analytical at the best of times with ADHD.

If you're emotionally flooded on the right side and the amygdala is going wild, your left side is completely offline.

So when you hear no, you literally cannot rationalize that no.

When you feel like you're not pleasing somebody and you sense that they're going to reject you, you literally can't rationalize it.

You immediately go into this sense of,

It's self-annihilation, really.

I'm going to be disintegrated.

I cannot remain intact.

And it does genuinely feel like the world is going to end.

And it could be the simplest of things.

But it's the sense that it's you that's dysfunctional.

It's you that's the problem.
