'Trauma, illness and medication' Listener question
Thank you for replying to my question about ADHD a while back. I have a few follow up questions. Maybe a bit too many questions for a podcast question but I have finally structured this so am sending.
Do you feel that all relative distortion on a mental level is rooted in trauma and that it is important to understand what that that relative tauma was?
If we take Gabor Mate understanding of environmental circumstances as the source of the condition do we need to know the seed of the original trauma? Is working with the created beliefs and constructs enough to break up the illusions and effects created by the initial trauma which may well have happened preverbally and is unconscious?
In the mental health condition known and labelled as ADHD my understanding is that the environment/genetics have affected the way the brain develops and functions at an early age and this in turn affects our relative experience in many ways. The effects are particular ways of doing, thinking and behaving which the medical model calls a diagnosis. Is it healthy to want to change the experience of the relative with medication for this experience? I have come to accept that I would like to do this and have started on medication but at the same time I don't like taking medication everyday. The medication seems to be helpful in helping focus and continued attention with tasks. Accepting everything about me as it arises is also part of engaging with the healing part. The medication is giving me a clearing space and I am grateful for that. I feel a bit more realistic and clearer about everything and kinder to thoughts about thoughts.
