The Wounds We Carry: ADHD, Trauma, and Healing (Part 1 with Kayla Crane)

Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

Episode 030: In this powerful first part of a two-part conversation, Ron Souers sits down with ADHD-informed relationship therapist Kayla Crane to explore how childhood trauma, late diagnosis, and emotional neglect shape our adult lives. With raw honesty and personal stories, they unpack the internalized shame, rejection sensitivity, and attachment struggles that many neurodivergent adults face — especially those who were undiagnosed or misjudged as kids.

Kayla brings her unique blend of personal experience and professional insight, sharing how she helps clients reconnect with their worth and build healthier, more compassionate relationships.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What emotional neglect looks like and how it affects adult relationships
  

• Why “being forgetful” is often a deep wound, not just a quirk
  

• Why men often struggle to express emotions — and how to break the cycle
  

• How to recognize when you’re reacting from past trauma vs. the present moment
