ADHD Aha | PTSD and ADHD, tangled up (Hannah’s story): podcast episode page

Published 2024-02-13
ADHD and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms can look similar in many ways. And together, they can morph into what guest Hannah Harris Green calls “a trauma ball of blame that’s hard to untangle.”

Hannah is a podcast producer, journalist, and writer who works in public radio. She talked about ADHD and PTSD on KCRW’s Bodies podcast, which she produced. (It’s an incredible episode. Link below.) She shares her ADHD diagnosis story here and talks about her Venn diagram of ADHD and PTSD behaviors (insomnia, trouble focusing, and more). Also in this episode: a “fall from grace” when school got harder. Plus, adding ADHD to an already layered identity.

    Thx for the talk (: Super mind boggling how a podcast about adhd has no playbackspeed controls. I wanted to listen to the linked bodies ep tho 1x is not possible, it has to be at least 2.5x for my brain! Sad missed opportunity. Pls fix the webpage.

    My brain just can’t stop focusing on that vocal frying… I’m so sorry! I really don’t want to be one of those criticising jerks, but I get these hang ups… 🙈 Some people say “ehhh, uhmmm, erhm..” etc or have a really weird lette ´R’ ore something and I’m lost.. I can’t seem to hear anything else.. the message is lost. Is that an adhd-thing or is it just me? This time it was the vocal fry that did it.. sorry, I’m hopeless
