ADHD & Trauma: How to Escape the Cage of Emotional Suppression w/ Elisha Lee

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

Episode 045: In this episode, Ron sits down with Elisha Lee—a licensed counselor and owner of Restoring You Christian Counseling Mental Health Practice, survivor of domestic violence, and fierce advocate for trauma-informed care—to explore what it means to reclaim your voice after years of silence.

Elisha shares her deeply personal journey through trauma, ADHD, and the invisible wounds many of us carry. We speak candidly about depression as a mask for repressed anger, about how society cages our emotions, and how people with ADHD—often misunderstood—are some of the most creative, intuitive, and adaptive minds among us.

We uncover how visualization can be a key to breaking free, how a workout routine can anchor healing, and how recovery is not just a process—it’s a rebellion against the lie that you are not enough.

This episode is a call to every soul who has ever felt trapped, voiceless, or overwhelmed by the chaos in their mind: you are not broken. And with the right tools, community, and compassion—you can find your way out.

So I urge you—listen closely, reflect deeply, and stay with us to the very end. Because the first step toward freedom… is believing that healing is possible.

🎓 What You’ll Learn:

✅ How ADHD and trauma interact beneath the surface—and why masking can look like laziness or depression.
✅ Why people with ADHD often excel in creativity, workarounds, and communication (when seen and supported).
✅ How visualization and daily movement practices can regulate the nervous system and support emotional release.
✅ The surprising link between repressed anger and depression—and how reclaiming your voice can change everything.
✅ Why connection—not perfection—is the cornerstone of lasting healing.
