Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

(Part Two) The Ultimate Crossover: ADHD and PTSD with Dr. William Dodson
Q: Have the medications improved over the years?
The guest explains that medications should improve long-term functioning with manageable side effects, and that optimal outcomes require careful matching of the medication to the patient and ongoing assessment beyond initial response, with some patients achieving high satisfaction levels when properly dosed and monitored.
(Part Two) The Ultimate Crossover: ADHD and PTSD with Dr. William Dodson
Q: Well, this has been packed with phenomenal information. Is there anything you'd like to share, any upcoming books, any information like that, that you'd like to share with everyone?
The guest notes work on a forthcoming book focused on treating ADHD/ADSK with a patient-centered approach, including how to diagnose, medications, safety during pregnancy, and managing complex cases; he emphasizes communicating with patients and clinicians to tailor treatments rather than relying on generic guidelines.
Part One: Addiction In the Brain–how trauma can follow from substance abuse (with Cynthia Tuohy)
Q: What is the relationship between trauma, PTSD, and substance use disorders, and what do you wish more people understood about it?
Trauma activates the brain's limbic system, driving people to seek relief through substances; over time this creates a cycle where the frontal cortex is less engaged, making recovery harder unless the person actively works to rewire neural pathways and build healthier patterns.
Hope and Healing for PTSD, how the Stellate Ganglion Block helps heal trauma from its core (with Dr. Michael Louwers)
Q: What would you tell someone about the effectiveness of SGB for PTSD?
Three out of four patients show a positive, clinically meaningful response, with data aligning to broader clinical literature, though longer and larger studies are still needed to reduce bias and confirm durability.
Confronting moral injury: How trauma programs the mind and how to break free with Matthew McDonell
Q: How does your program address moral injury and the root traumas from childhood?
We begin with education on developmental trauma and moral injury, assess ACEs, and then run a four-day camp where we work in a group setting, combining therapeutic conversations with real-life activities like golf to repair relationships and reframe identity away from chaos toward calm and purpose.
