As a trauma-informed professional in mental health advocacy, I've witnessed firsthand how upbringing can uniquely shape those with neurodivergent experiences. But what often remains unseen is the silent trauma carried into adulthood. 🌱 Trauma in neurodivergent people can often go unrecognized, because their reactions & coping mechanisms might deviate from the 'norm'. This can lead to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding, intensifying the trauma. 🔍 I've learned that acknowledging this trauma is the first step towards healing. You can't effectively treat the symptoms without understanding the person behind them. It's about giving a voice to those internal struggles that were often misinterpreted or overlooked. 📚 If you're looking for deeper insights, check out my books on mental health and personal development. 🔗 https://amzn.to/47JZ08Z #MentalHealthAwareness #Neurodiversity #TraumaHealing #EmpathyFirst #telieshasharee #monarchcreates #monarchci
