WRITING
Writing on high sensitivity — and where it intersects with complex trauma, burnout and adult ADHD. Clear distinctions where the evidence supports them, and honesty where it doesn't.
Articles are added gradually, as there is something worth saying rather than a publishing schedule to fill.

Read the article →The diagnostic distinction, why developmental material may call for a different therapeutic map, and where Lifespan Integration and EMDR each fit.
Read the article →High sensitivity is the main lens here. Complex trauma, burnout and ADHD are common intersections — not interchangeable explanations, but places where the same lived experience can acquire different names.
These articles are for people who want more than a checklist. They look at where concepts genuinely overlap, where the distinctions matter, and what any of it changes in practice.
The current pieces look at high sensitivity in its own right and where it meets complex trauma. Future ones will take in burnout and adult ADHD.
They are written for orientation, not self-diagnosis. Where a formal assessment would make a practical difference, I will say so.
