ADHD and Attachment Trauma

The lesson explores how ADHD symptoms, especially in childhood, can lead to rejection sensitivity and attachment trauma. ADHD-related behaviors such as impulsivity, disorganization, and hyperactivity often cause children to face criticism and rejection. Without proper support, this results in insecure attachment and hypervigilance toward perceived rejection. The lesson emphasizes the importance of secure attachments, where caregivers provide mindfulness, validation, and encouragement. Strategies to address rejection sensitivity include recognizing inner child wounds, separating behavior from personal rejection, and improving communication about triggers. Left unaddressed, these challenges continue into adulthood.
