Exploring the Complexity of ADHD: Dyslexia, Trauma and the Promise of Neurofeedback with Dr. Connie McReynolds

Essential Mental Healing

Therapy Thursday!!
What if everything you thought you knew about ADHD was just the tip of the iceberg? Join us as we explore this question with Dr. Connie McReynolds, a seasoned expert in rehabilitation psychology. The deep dive into the complex world of ADHD diagnosis and treatment starts with a riveting discussion on dyslexia and its fascinating link to ADHD. We then touch upon the critical connection between auditory and visual processing problems and various learning disabilities, laying the groundwork for an enlightening discussion on neurofeedback.
We further tackle the increasing trend of ADHD diagnosis in children, and the role trauma triggers may play in their behavior. We share our experiences working with veterans and children who have undergone trauma, emphasizing the importance of addressing underlying issues rather than hastily labeling them as ADHD. The discussion then takes a turn towards the challenges parents face when deciding between medication and alternate methods like neurofeedback for their child's ADHD treatment.
As we wrap up this eye-opening conversation with Dr. McReynolds, we delve into her pioneering work in neurofeedback and the impressive long-term cognitive improvements it can bring about. We highlight the significance of understanding and addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, and their connection to ADHD. Ultimately, we advocate for a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and strengthening the brain. Tune in for an engaging and insightful discussion that aims to change the narrative surrounding ADHD and promote a more understanding and compassionate approach to this complex condition.
Dr. Connie is a Licensed Psychologist & Certified Rehabilitation Counselor with more than 30 years of experience in the field of rehabilitation counseling and psychology. She is the founder of neurofeedback clinics in southern California working with children and adults to reduce or eliminate conditions of ADHD, anxiety, anger, depression, chronic pain, learning problems, and trauma.
She earned her Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison gaining valuable experiences in the Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Program at the Middleton VA Hospital, at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Neuropsychological Clinic at Meriter Hospital, and the Mendota Mental Health Institute.
