Heya! I like your videos. Very insightful. Thank you for posting! I'm waiting in a long queue for ADHD testing and been studying it. I've also read quite a lot about trauma. More specifically childhood trauma/Complex PTSD and how it causes dissociation (the one where the mind cuts you off from reality/yourself when things are too much) and how that numbs your experiences and your emotions. Would this also affect memory? If so, how can we tell which one it is? Is it both? Side note: I think I have a lot of unsymbolized thoughts which is a term I learned just today and I also have great difficulties identifying my emotions. I've just no clue what I'm feeling most of the time. I can read the description of an emotion and sometimes I'll recognise that it's what I'm experiencing, but most of the time it's like there's no link between what I'm experiencing and the "symbols" for emotions. No idea if/how this plays into all this, but I have a hunch that it might.
