Studies show that experiencing trauma increases a patient’s chances of being diagnosed with ADHD. What’s more, teasing out the origins of a patient’s trauma can be complicated since many symptoms of trauma overlap with (and may be caused by) ADHD.
Somatic therapists are trained to work with the sensations of the body in the same way that talk therapists are trained to work with thoughts or cognitions. I’ve been treating clients using this technique for two years. Here’s a basic overview of how it works.
Focusing on the body’s response to the trauma — instead of the trauma itself — reduces the possibility of re-traumatizing the individual and starts the healing process. Through the body, we have more access to the traumatic residue, which may not be available in memories. A patient who develops a highly-attuned awareness of their body may be able to discern which symptoms are manifesting from a stress response and which symptoms are more rooted in the neurology of ADHD. For example, somatic therapy can help a patient determine whether they are distracted because of a stress trigger or because of something new and interesting in their environment.
