Podcasts about misdiagnosis

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Magatte Wade about her book, The Heart of Cheetah, her personal journey, entrepreneurial ventures, and her vision for a free and prosperous Africa. Magatte was key voice and important influence in the film I directed, Poverty, Inc. She is a force for promoting freedom, the dignity of the person, and entrepreneurial solutions to poverty in Africa and throughout the world. I've know Magatte for many years and am delighted to have her on the podcast. We discuss the misconceptions surrounding African poverty and the need for economic freedom and institutions of justice – private property, rule of law, and ability to participate in the formal economy - for fostering opportunity and human flourishing for the poor. At the end of our conversation we also talk about poverty in America, the American dream from the perspective of an immigrant, emphasizing the need for a balance between material prosperity and moral values. Magatte emphasizes that Africa will only thrive through entrepreneurship, political and economic freedom, and a commitment to rule of law and human dignity.Biography Magatte Wade is founder of SkinIsSkin, and Senior Fellow at Atlas Network, the leading organization of African free-market think tanks. She was listed as a Forbes “20 Youngest Power Women in Africa,” a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and a TED Global Africa Fellow.

One of my brave patients shares her story with lichen sclerosis from being dismissed and told it was "all in her head" to finding proper treatment and relief.I'll never forget the day Jess walked into my office. By the time she found me, she'd already been dismissed by multiple doctors including specialists at what was supposed to be one of Chicago's premier women's health centers. They told her the severe pain and skin changes she was experiencing were "all in her head." Two different physicians suggested she needed a therapist, not medical treatment. Her depression history was weaponized against her, used as proof that she was just being hysterical.But Jess wasn't hysterical. She had advanced lichen sclerosis, and her vulvar skin was literally fusing together. Had she not found proper treatment, she would never have been able to have penetrative sex again. Even worse, without treatment, her risk of vulvar cancer would have climbed from 1% to 3-5%. Yet nobody had explained any of this to her. She'd been handed a tube of clobetasol and essentially told to figure it out herself which she did, on YouTube, learning the proper application technique that her doctors never bothered to teach her.In this episode, Jess bravely shares her journey living with lichen sclerosis—from the devastating experience of being gaslit by female physicians to finding relief through injectable steroids and surgical lysis of adhesions. We talk about how her symptoms worsened when she entered menopause in her mid-40s (common with autoimmune conditions), the complete loss of libido that left her sobbing when a doctor said "it's never coming back," and the body changes that made her feel like a "potato."But this conversation is about more than just lichen sclerosis. It's about the failures of our healthcare system, the importance of advocating for yourself even when you're furious and exhausted, and learning to accept yourself exactly where you're at. Jess's story will resonate with anyone who's ever been dismissed, anyone struggling with vulvar health issues, and anyone navigating the chaos of menopause while trying to hold onto their sense of self-worth.Highlights:Why most gynecologists miss lichen sclerosis (hint: they're not actually looking at your vulva).The proper way to apply clobetasol that doctors don't teach.How vaginismus became a catch-all diagnosis for any woman with painful sex.The We Do Not Care Club movement and redefining your value at midlife.What it means when influencers are the face of menopause marketing.If you've been dismissed or told your vulvar symptoms are "all in your head," this episode validates your experience and shows you're not alone. And if you're a clinician, this is your wake-up call we can no longer dismiss women's symptoms as psychological when real physical disease is staring us in the face. Please share this with someone who needs to hear that their symptoms are real and treatment is available.Get in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

When faced with challenging cases where progress seems stalled, revisiting these foundational assessments can often reveal overlooked insights. Encouragingly, even the smallest improvements in a patient's quality of life or pain reduction signify substantial progress and should be celebrated as such. ### Understanding the Neurophysiology of Pain For effective pain management, it is crucial to address the central nervous system's role. Pain is often exacerbated or misunderstood due to centrally sensitized conditions, where patients may perceive their pain levels to be disproportionately high. Recognizing these patterns and responding with neurological treatments can help in reducing the body's exaggerated pain response. ### Scarring and its Impact on Mobility When treating persistent abdominal and muscular pain, it is essential to factor in scarring as a significant contributor. Scarring can inhibit muscle function and neural pathways, thereby exacerbating pain or limiting motion. By focusing on reducing scar tissue and enhancing mobility, practitioners can achieve notable improvements in patient outcomes. ### Effective Use of Frequency Specific Therapeutics Incorporating frequency-specific approaches offers a promising frontier in treating complex conditions unresponsive to conventional therapies. By targeting specific cellular functions, practitioners can modulate bodily responses and alleviate symptoms related to nerve and muscle dysfunction. Identifying and using the correct frequencies for issues like nerve pain, muscle hardness, or unresolved systemic conditions can revolutionize patient care. ### Addressing Misdiagnosed Pain Sources Frequent misdiagnoses occur when only one aspect of pain is treated without considering the interconnections within the body. Practitioners are encouraged to adopt a holistic approach—examining musculature, nerve pathways, and cognitive factors simultaneously. This integrated view can uncover underlying issues like trigger points or misunderstood nerve damage. ### The Role of Stories and Continuous Learning Sharing clinical stories and experiences is an invaluable practice for medical professionals. These narratives provide context and enrich theoretical knowledge, making lessons more relatable and memorable. As practitioners progress in their careers, continuous reflection on past cases coupled with ongoing education will enhance their diagnostic and treatment capabilities.

Endometriosis is finally being understood for what it truly is: a whole-body inflammatory, immune-dysregulating disease that affects far more than the pelvis—and far more than just your period. If you've ever felt dismissed by doctors, confused by contradictory information, or overwhelmed by your symptoms, this conversation is going to feel like someone finally turning on the lights.In this interview, I sit down with Dr Jessica Drummond!

In this week's episode of Full of Beans, I'm joined by Ailidh Musgrave, an eating disorder campaigner, whose story spans years of misdiagnosis, medical trauma, and being repeatedly told she was “too complex” to treat.Ailidh was diagnosed with anorexia at 13, and spent her teens and early adulthood in a cycle of nine inpatient admissions, severe depression, self-harm, sepsis, multiple surgeries and even temporary paralysis. Alongside her eating disorder, she lives with autism and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which went misunderstood or dismissed for years.Now, two years out of hospital, back in education and moving in with her partner, Ailidh is using her experience to push for safer, more compassionate care and to challenge the Assisted Dying Bill through the #DyingForTreatment campaign.In this conversation, Ailidh shares what it's like to be rejected from over 20 hospitals, labelled “too complex”, and still find her way back to life – and why she believes no one with anorexia should ever be put on a palliative pathway.This week, we discuss:Misdiagnosis, gastrointestinal symptoms and the long road to an EDS diagnosisThe dramatic shift from CAMHS to adult servicesHow autism and neurodivergence were misunderstood in eating disorder treatmentBeing turned away by over 20 hospitals and the “postcode lottery” of careWhy Ailidh is speaking out against the Assisted Dying Bill and the risk for people with anorexiaThe power of time, trust and being truly listened to in recoveryHow her mum held onto hope when she couldn't – and why hope is the most important thing clinicians can offerLived experience and family perspectives are essential if we want eating disorder care to be truly compassionate, person-centred and safe. Ailidh's story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond help, no matter how long or how complex their journey has been.Timestamps:01:20 – Ailidh's Experience of Inpatient Admissions05:50 – CAMHS vs Adult Inpatient Care09:40 – Autism and Misunderstanding14:10 – EDS Diagnosis and Medical Trauma18:30 – 9 Admissions in 13 Years24:20 – Community Aftercare and Service Gaps29:00 – Concerns About The Assisted Dying Bill36:40 – Finding Internal Motivation For Recovery43:10 – The Impact On FamilyResources & LinksConnect with Ailidh on LinkedInConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans Podcast hereFollow Full of Beans on Instagram hereCheck out our website hereListen on YOUTUBE here⚠️ Trigger Warning: Mentions of eating disorders.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Mike Matthews — a late-diagnosed Autistic dad, writer, music obsessive, and dry-witted survivor of misdiagnosis, medical gaslighting, and five years of unanswered burnout.Together, Angela and Mike explore the messy middle between “something is wrong” and “oh — it's autism,” the years lost to misunderstanding, the grief and relief of late self-discovery, and the unexpected joy of building a life that actually fits.

The mental health system didn't start out fair — and in many ways, it still isn't. In this powerful episode, Dr. Nicole Washington sits down with fellow psychiatrist Dr. Leesha Ellis-Cox to unpack the long, painful history that continues to shape the experiences of Black Americans seeking mental health care. From the horrifying “diagnosis” of drapetomania in the 1800s to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, they trace how mistrust, stigma, and systemic bias became woven into the Black community's relationship with psychiatry.But they don't stop there. Dr. Nicole and Dr. Leesha explore the research showing that Black and Hispanic people are 3 to 4 times more likely to be misdiagnosed with schizophrenia instead of bipolar disorder — a mistake that can derail treatment, worsen symptoms, and put lives at risk.Listener takeaways the historical roots of racial disparities in psychiatric diagnosis why Black Americans are more likely to be misdiagnosed with schizophrenia how stigma and generational trauma shape attitudes toward treatment practical steps to find culturally humble, affirming providers Most importantly, they offer real, actionable advice: how to find culturally affirming care, how to navigate bias in the system, and how Black and other communities of color can break generational silence around mental health. This conversation is validating, eye-opening, and deeply empowering. Listen now!   Our guest, Dr. Leesha Ellis-Cox, affectionately known as Dr. Leesha, is a double board certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. She earned both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed her general psychiatry residency training, child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship, and community mental health/public psychiatry fellowship at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.

In this episode of The Inspire Health by Jen Podcast we dive into the pervasive myth of late onset ADHD particularly in women experiencing hormonal changes. If you've ever wondered whether you “suddenly” developed ADHD in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, this episode is your permission slip to exhale.  We unpack how estrogen and progesterone shifts, unresolved trauma, and modern-day stressors can mimic classic ADHD symptoms—brain fog, distractibility, irritability, emotional overwhelm—and why so many women get mislabeled instead of truly supported. You'll learn why your brain is not broken, why your body is not a “dumpster fire,” and why there is nothing wrong with needing help. There are holistic, natural, and deeply effective ways to rebalance your system so you can feel like yourself again. Themes:  “Late-onset ADHD” is rarely ADHD. Hormonal decline—especially falling estrogen—can look identical to attention-deficit symptoms. Your hormones are talking. Estrogen influences cognition, focus, mood, and memory more than most women are ever told. ADHD can be a gift. Many women with ADHD have brilliant, multi-channel minds that excel when supported properly. Trauma changes attention. Past emotional wounds can amplify ADHD-like symptoms and dysregulate focus. Lifestyle shifts matter. Nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress regulation are foundational—not optional. Test, don't guess. Comprehensive hormone testing is key to accurate diagnosis and treatment. Natural support works. Supplements and holistic strategies can reduce symptoms without relying solely on stimulants like Adderall. Know your wiring. Understanding how your unique brain works is liberating and empowering. You deserve support. Healing ADHD-like symptoms requires guidance—this is not a DIY project. Your mental health and hormonal health are inseparable. When one shifts, the other follows.   Connect with Jen:

After years of unexplained symptoms, Juj was diagnosed with Lyme disease, Bartonella, Babesia, mold toxicity, POTS, SIBO, celiac disease, and later catamenial epilepsy. Despite life-altering health challenges, she and her best friend Kiana have built Z3LLA into one of the most exciting names in house music — with their single “Why Should I?” reaching #1 on the US Dance Radio Charts and performances alongside Disco Lines, Galantis, and Bijou. Together, Juj and Kiana discuss performing through flare-ups, collapsing backstage, navigating the medical system, and the emotional toll of chasing dreams while managing invisible illness. From ER visits and red-light therapy to steroid crashes and spiritual breakthroughs, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, vulnerability, and using art as advocacy.

Hey everyone! We're taking our own advice this week and looking after our energy levels — both of us are juggling some extra work hours and doing our best to avoid burnout. So instead of a brand-new episode today, we're re-running one of our most popular and meaningful conversations. Thank you so much for your understanding as we take a breather — we'll be back with our Hot Topic episode on Friday as usual. And next week, we'll be celebrating a huge milestone — 100,000 downloads!

Complex PTSD doesn't show up like a broken arm - nobody opens doors for you when your nervous system is on fire. Meghan Judge shares how losing her sister at age two, then her father at twelve, then her best friend in her twenties created a lifetime of hypervigilance that looked like "something wrong with her" instead of what it actually was: a body that learned too early that people disappear without warning. The conversation gets raw about female friendships turning vicious (women can smile while destroying you), parenting teenagers when your trauma tells you everyone you love will die, and why meditation advice feels like trying to light a wet match when your brain writes disaster scripts at 2 AM. There's real talk about the years of misdiagnosis - depression, ADHD, bipolar - before finally understanding this is your nervous system and brain trying to protect you. The relief of finding the right therapist after years of bad fits, permission to need continuous support instead of white-knuckling independence, and why you can't unlearn trauma but you can retrain your system to feel safe again.

In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Shirin Lakhani, a GP, trained aesthetic technician, and founder of Elite Aesthetics, whom I first encountered during a preview for an upcoming Menopause Event called Pause and met in person this past weekend!Our conversation explored the often-overlooked topic of sexual health and intimacy as we age, a subject on which we have a mutual interest! Dr Lakhani's work, including her Check Your Vulva campaign, encourages women to understand and embrace their anatomy, helping them recognise what's normal and advocate for their health. (During the preview event the audience, composed mainly of women, were handed hand mirrors with Dr. Lakhani demonstrating the correct way to ‘check our vulva' - fully clothed, I might add!). We also discussed the lack of adequate menopause training for healthcare professionals, which often leads to women being dismissed or misdiagnosed when seeking help for conditions like genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).One of the highlights of our conversation was learning about the O-Shot and P-Shot treatments, which use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to regenerate tissues and improve sexual function for both men and women. Dr Lakhani explained how these therapies enhance sensitivity, lubrication, and blood flow, making them effective solutions for issues such as painful sex, erectile dysfunction, and even stress incontinence. For women with hormone-sensitive conditions, such as breast cancer survivors, the O-Shot provides a non-hormonal alternative to treatments like estrogen. These cutting-edge therapies are a game-changer, offering hope and healing to so many.We also spoke about the importance of pelvic floor health, particularly for recovery after prostate surgery or childbirth. Dr Lakhani introduced me to advanced devices she uses in her practise that deliver thousands of pelvic floor contractions in just minutes, allowing patients to strengthen their pelvic muscles in ways they couldn't achieve on their own. For men recovering from prostate cancer surgery, this kind of therapy can significantly reduce incontinence and improve erectile function - a real game changer.Finally, we addressed the challenges of diagnosing and treating lichen sclerosus, a condition that can cause severe discomfort and is often mistaken for other issues like thrush. Dr Lakhani shared how PRP and radio frequency microneedling can restore tissue health and improve the quality of life for those affected. This episode reinforced for me the importance of normalising conversations about sexual health at any age. We need better education, improved communication with healthcare providers, and greater access to treatments that can restore intimacy and joy in our lives.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods.” 

This episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast is a deep dive into the complexities of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods,” details the challenges of diagnosing tick-borne diseases, the limitations of current diagnostic tests, and the controversy around treatment methodologies. Nicole shares her personal journey that led her to this field after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which was later revealed to be caused by advanced Lyme disease. They also discuss new diagnostic techniques, the importance of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing advocacy efforts to improve awareness and research funding for Lyme disease.

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explores the confusing and often frightening world of atypical migraines. Unlike classic migraines—characterized by one-sided throbbing head pain and light or sound sensitivity—atypical migraines show up in unexpected ways, including:Visual disturbances and auraNumbness, tingling, or weaknessStroke-like symptoms such as facial droopingBrain fog, dizziness, or fatigueDr. Taves explains how the healthcare system typically treats atypical migraines as a “diagnosis of exclusion,” offering only medications to manage symptoms rather than addressing root causes. He emphasizes that many of these unusual migraine presentations stem from problems in the upper neck, which can confuse the brain's pain-processing pathways and create a wide variety of neurological symptoms.Listeners will learn why traditional imaging often misses the true problem, how the brain can misinterpret pain signals, and why focusing on neck movement and function can be key to finding lasting relief. Dr. Taves encourages patients not to settle for symptom management but to seek out a framework that addresses the underlying cause of their migraines.Novera: Headache Center

Welcome back to ADHD-ish! In this episode, host Diann Wingert sits down with Dr. Gilly Kahn, author of the recently published Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women's ADHD. Together, Gilly and Diann tackle often overlooked elements of ADHD, like emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity, shining a light on the daily realities that many women face but rarely see reflected in mainstream ADHD narratives.Drawing on both personal experiences and clinical insights, Gilly and Diann unpack hot-button topics such as the gaps in diagnostic criteria, why women are often diagnosed later in life, and the profound impact of being emotionally sensitive in a world that expects conformity.Whether you've been told you're “extra,” struggled with impulsivity, or have battled feelings of not belonging, this conversation will offer validation, strategies, and a healthy dose of humor. Grab your headphones—it's time to celebrate the quirks, strengths, and unique challenges of being a woman with ADHD. What you'll hear in this episode:Emotional Dysregulation is Fundamental (and Overlooked): While most people associate ADHD with distractibility and impulsivity, Diann and Dr. Kahn remind us that emotional sensitivity and reactivity are just as central—especially for women. Emotional outbursts, rejection sensitivity, and the complexities of self-regulation often remain unaddressed but profoundly impact daily life and professional relationships.Misdiagnosis & Misunderstanding Persist: Many women spend years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or even personality disorders, before discovering ADHD's unique presentation in females. Trauma from chronic misunderstanding—whether “big T” or “little t”—leaves lasting scars on self-esteem and career confidence.Diversity of Thought = Business Advantage: The strengths that come with ADHD—creativity, expansive curiosity, resilience in the face of rejection—aren't just “superpowers” for individuals. As Dr. Kahn eloquently puts it, teams excel when they have true diversity of thought. Those who think differently spark innovation and challenge the status quo.Mic Drop Moment:“You can't have strengths without also having weaknesses, especially when the strengths are extreme.” – Gilly Kahn, PhDGuest BioGilly Kahn, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, ADHD advocate, researcher, and author in private practice in Atlanta, GA, USA.

Send us a textWhat if the deepest wound in the human soul isn't sin—but shame?In this stirring message, we dive into one of the most radical shifts in Christian thought in two thousand years: moving from a doctrine of inherent separation from God to a vision of inherent union with God.With raw honesty, the sermon wrestles with the Garden story, the cross, and the very heart of the gospel. What if salvation is not about clawing our way back to a God who left us, but awakening to the truth that God never left? What if our shame, not our sin, is the lie that keeps us hiding in the bushes?This episode doesn't just challenge centuries of teaching—it offers healing. It dares us to imagine a Christianity that begins not with fear, but with belovedness. A faith not obsessed with fixing what's “wrong,” but resting in the God who has been with us all along.If you've ever carried the weight of religious shame or wondered if you were ever truly “safe” with God, this conversation liberate your soul.#HarvestSarasota #FaithWithoutFear #AlwaysSafeInGod #InherentUnion #HealingFromShame #DeconstructingFaith #ProgressiveChristianity #LoveGodLovePeople #MessyFaith #SpiritualJourney #GoodNewsGospel #FaithNotFear #stanmitchell Harvest is a fully affirming, inclusive (including the LGBTQ+ community) progressive Christian church located in Sarasota, Florida.Follow us on Social Media:Instagram - Instagram.com/harvestsarasotaFacebook - Facebook.com/harvestsarasotaTikTok CLICK HEREDONATE to support our podcast HERERecorded live at Harvest Church in Sarasota by Michael Thomas Regina and Stephen Lehman of Boardtown Creative

Those traumas include sexual abuse by a male babysitter at the age of 10/11, an unhealthy lifelong relationship with his father and being codependent up the ass in all his relationships in his life. He learned about and how to “manage” his codependency, he began and continues therapy to deal with the traumas and current life challenges, and he learned to live in the present.

Segment 1: Hormone Imbalances May Be Causing Your Mental And Physical Issues Hormones regulate nearly every function in the body, yet their role in women's health is often overlooked in conventional medicine. Misdiagnosis of hormone imbalances can lead to physical and emotional suffering. Dr. Julie Taylor explains the proper tests and education that can help women find the root cause of many different symptoms, empowering them to better understand and manage their health. Segment 2: Are Pharmacy Benefit Managers To Blame For Your Massive Health Bills? Last week we discussed how PBMs operate within healthcare, including negotiating drug prices and operating clinical programs.

In this powerful episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I sit down with medical researcher, writer, and host of Modern Hysteria, Micah Larsen, to dive deep into her deeply personal and courageous journey through PMDD, menopause, and preeclampsia. With warmth and unflinching honesty, Micah illuminates the painful gaps in our healthcare system and the persistence of medical misogyny—and, more importantly, how we can begin to dismantle those barriers. We explore: The courage it takes to speak openly about taboo topics like incontinence, childbirth, postpartum challenges, and menopause. How narrative and advocacy are essential tools for transforming women's healthcare. Micah's Montana farm: a place of solace, healing, and self-acceptance that has helped her reclaim her body and spirit amid the storms. This episode is equal parts urgent call to action and celebration of resilience—a reminder that better women's healthcare starts with brave conversations and compassionate communities. Note: This episode includes discussions of very heavy themes, including suicide. If you're feeling fragile, you might choose to listen in gentle doses, on a different day, or skip it altogether. But know this: this is an inspiring conversation—and I hope it helps ignite a true women's medical rights movement.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In the first of a three-part interview, Dr. Emily Wood, a board-certified psychiatrist and PhD neuroscientist, discusses the complex links between neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism, and chronic pain syndromes like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Dr. Wood, who heads Spectrum Psych LA, sheds light on why these conditions are often overlooked in high-masking individuals and women and explains the sensory processing differences that contribute to chronic pain.

Support the showWhen I started this podcast—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. You're not alone. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 28+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace personal medical advice.* ...

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Lisa is joined by two internationally recognized leaders in the field of complex trauma and dissociation—Ana Gómez and Jill Hosey—for a heartfelt conversation about their monumental new release: The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children. More than just a book discussion, this episode offers a reverence-based reframe of dissociation—not as pathology, but as a brilliant, adaptive survival strategy used by children navigating overwhelming experiences. Ana and Jill share their personal insights from editing this groundbreaking 900+ page volume, which weaves together theory, research, clinical case work, and embodied practices from over 60 contributors. Together, they explore the profound responsibility therapists carry—not only to understand dissociation in their clients but to honor how it arises in their own inner worlds. You'll hear candid reflections on what it means to be a regulated presence in the therapy room, how fear of dissociation may show up in clinicians, and how co-regulation becomes the foundation for relational healing. Whether you're just beginning to explore the topic of dissociation or are a seasoned trauma therapist, this episode invites you to shift from fear to curiosity—from fragmentation to integration.

The brilliant Tracy Otsuka is back on the show for another rich conversation about why ADHD so often gets misdiagnosed (or completely missed) in women, how trauma can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, and what you can actually do to function and advocate for yourself if you're dealing with either (or both) during divorce. We also dig into the very real challenges of trying to function while your brain is in a constant state of overwhelm: whether that's from trauma, ADHD, or the mental chaos that comes when the lines between them blur. Tracy breaks down the importance of understanding how your brain is wired, why traditional systems so often fail neurodivergent women, and how to build supports that actually work for you. Whether you're navigating ADHD or the aftermath of trauma, reclaiming your own narrative isn't just important, it's necessary, especially if someone else is trying to write it for you. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: How ADHD presents differently in women than men and why so many of us go undiagnosed (3:23) The difference between a trauma state and ADHD and why knowing the distinction matters (10:15) What to do when your ADHD diagnosis is used against you by your partner or ex in a weaponized or manipulative way (22:10) How gender roles and stereotypes create additional shame and pressure for neurodivergent women (26:16) Tracy's brilliant tip for using ChatGPT as a digital support tool in divorce (30:58) Learn more about Tracy Otsuka: Tracy Otsuka, JD, LLM, AACC, ACC, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast.
