In this episode, I answer this very commonly asked question: What is the difference between PDA and trauma? As part of my answer, I discuss five things:1. Why there is so much confusion between PDA and trauma. 2. Why there are different root causes behind similar nervous system activation.3. Where there are points of overlap between PDA and trauma.4. Different approaches to supporting them. 5. What we don't know yet about healing vs. accommodating a neurotype vs. neuroplasticity and where your child will land.Citations:"What Happened to You: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing," by Bruce Perry, MD, Ph.D. and Oprah Winfrey"The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk"Harnessing Electrochemicals to Treat Disorders Arising from Traumatic Stress" by Ronald Ruden (2019: 223)To connect with me, find me here: InstagramTikTokFacebookYouTubeFor more resources for parents, including #actuallyautistic pages to check out and a list of PDA-affirming practitioners in North America, check out the resources page at PDA Parents.For Courses, Programs, Coaching and Consulting, find me at At Peace Parents, LLC Thanks for listening!
