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. We unmask the beauty of embracing surrender and the freedom it bestows, demonstrating how it has played out in our lives, from giving up cable to learning to release control as parents. There's transformative power in facing the raging storm of loss and challenges, and still finding peace within the chaos. Janet and I share our deeply personal journeys through grief, struggle, and the aftermath of divorce, underscoring the pivotal role of love in these challenging times.

Therapy Thursday!!What if everything you thought you knew about ADHD was just the tip of the iceberg? 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. We then touch upon the critical connection between auditory and visual processing problems and various learning disabilities, laying the groundwork for an enlightening discussion on neurofeedback. We further tackle the increasing trend of ADHD diagnosis in children, and the role trauma triggers may play in their behavior. We share our experiences working with veterans and children who have undergone trauma, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than hastily labeling them as ADHD. The discussion then takes a turn towards the challenges parents face when deciding between medication and alternate methods like neurofeedback for their child's ADHD treatment. As we wrap up this eye-opening conversation with Dr. McReynolds, we delve into her pioneering work in neurofeedback and the impressive long-term cognitive improvements it can bring about. We highlight the significance of understanding and addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, and their connection to ADHD. Ultimately, we advocate for a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and strengthening the brain. Tune in for an engaging and insightful discussion that aims to change the narrative surrounding ADHD and promote a more understanding and compassionate approach to this complex condition. Dr. Connie is a Licensed Psychologist & Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with more than 30 years of experience in the field of rehabilitation counseling and psychology.
