Season 2, Ep. 6 – A Deeper Look at ADHD, Anxiety, Depression & Trauma with Counselor Kesley

In this follow-up episode of Unity Through Diversity, Gina reconnects with licensed professional counselor Kesley to dive deeper into some of the most commonly experienced—but often misunderstood—mental health conditions: ADHD, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and PTSD.

Building on their previous conversation about stigma and awareness, this episode offers a compassionate blend of professional insight and personal reflection. Together, Gina and Kesley bridge traditional mental health frameworks with holistic approaches, shedding light on how to better understand and navigate complex emotional landscapes.

🧠 Inside this episode:

• The misunderstood world of ADHD—especially in women

• How hyperfixation and inattentiveness show up in real life

• The connection between caffeine, stimulation, and ADHD symptoms

• Depression: what it is (and isn’t), and how to distinguish it from temporary sadness

• How ADHD and depression often overlap and go undiagnosed

• Panic attacks and the misunderstood physical symptoms that mimic medical emergencies

• The evolving understanding of PTSD and trauma—from childhood to generational and fetal trauma

• How holistic tools like breathwork and sound healing can complement clinical support

Kesley also shares client-centered strategies for working with children and adults, highlights the impact of insurance on diagnosis, and offers insight into managing symptoms with care and compassion. Gina adds her personal stories of anxiety and healing, illustrating the real-life interplay between emotion, belief systems, and recovery.

🎧 Whether you’re on your own healing journey, supporting someone you love, or simply curious—this episode is packed with clarity, empathy, and encouragement.
