The Truth About ADHD, Trauma & Identity with Dr. Shawn Horn

The Truth About ADHD, Trauma & Identity with Dr. Shawn Horn

ADHD, anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm...have been largely misunderstood. What if we're getting it all wrong?

In this deeply validating and eye-opening episode, Liz Svatek sits down with Dr. Shawn Horn, author of Thrive Socially with Adult ADHD: Shame-Busting Strategies to Build Better Relationships Using Polyvagal Theory and Neuroscience, for a powerful conversation about adult ADHD, trauma, shame, emotional regulation, and the hidden struggles so many high achievers carry behind the scenes.

Together, they unpack why intelligent, capable people still feel stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from themselves — even after years of personal growth work.

Dr. Shawn Horn shares his personal story and explains how ADHD, nervous system dysregulation, childhood experiences, and trauma responses shape the way we think, react, connect, and move through the world.
