The Subconscious Software of ADHD: Rewiring the Trauma Beneath the Diagnosis

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

Episode 044: “And that's the way it is…”

But not quite—not when it comes to how we’ve misunderstood ADHD and the trauma buried beneath it.

In this compelling and deeply human episode of "Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD," host Ron Souers sits down with hypnotherapist Christopher Marsh, whose journey from a burned-out tech executive to a trauma-informed healer is as revelatory as it is relatable.

Together, they dismantle the pathologized myths around ADHD and dig beneath the surface to where the real story lives: in the subconscious, shaped by trauma, fear of rejection, and the environments that failed to see us clearly.

What if your ADHD isn’t broken—but brilliantly adapted?
What if your brain isn’t working against you… but trying to protect you the only way it knows how?

This is more than a podcast episode.
It’s a mirror, a manual, and maybe even a moment of awakening.

🎓 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why ADHD is often the symptom, not the source
✅ How trauma gets stored in the subconscious like old, protective software
✅ The surprising link between ADHD, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome
✅ Why hypnotherapy is an underutilized tool for ADHDers
✅ How to begin rewiring old subconscious programming with compassion
✅ Why your brain isn’t defective—it’s responding to an unsafe world
✅ Actionable insights on how to regulate, reconnect, and reclaim your story
