Discovering Tranquility: A Journey in Embracing Surrender and Overcoming Challenges
Therapy Thursday!Have you ever felt the profound peace that comes from surrendering control? This episode is a heart-to-heart conversation between myself, your host Candace Fleming, and my mother, Janet Hale, as we shed light on our journeys to discovering tranquility in letting go.

Join us as we explore this question with Dr. Connie McReynolds, a seasoned expert in rehabilitation psychology. The deep dive into the complex world of ADHD diagnosis and treatment starts with a riveting discussion on dyslexia and its fascinating link to ADHD.

Ultimately, we advocate for a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and strengthening the brain.
