How do attachment styles in babies and children affect their brains if they have ADHD? Even before diagnosis, early childhood experiences will shape their response to real or perceived threats. With the right understanding of what drives their children’s emotional responses, parents can give them the support they need to better tune into and regulate their emotions.
In this episode, Claire explores the link between ADHD and Attachment with expert guest Dr Deba Choudhury-Peters - Chartered Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience and the founder of DCP Therapy: an independent psychological therapy practice in London, offering a tailor-made holistic approach, with particular focus on the body-mind connection. Dr Deba works with a wide range of psychological problems and specialises in therapy for trauma and attachment styles in relationships.
Dr Deba explains the basics behind attachment theory - covering the main types and how they manifest in ADHD children. She also talks about what this might mean as your child grows and interacts with other adults and children around them, for example at school. We learn some powerful ways that taking a holistic approach, engaging both the mind and the body, can help empower both children and parents to celebrate their differences.
