  ADHD, Attachment & Invisible Bricks: A Conversation with Lacey Redding from Sweden

  Nov 13, 202535 minS1

  Episode Summary In this episode of Mental Health Without Borders, Dr. Lindsay Frey speaks with Lacey Redding, a US licensed therapist living in Sweden. They discuss Lacey's journey to becoming a therapist, her specialization in ADHD and complex trauma, and the cultural differences in mental health approaches between Sweden and the US. Lacey shares her insights on the importance of understanding ADHD and trauma, the wellness practices in Swedish culture, and the significance of music in her healing journey. The conversation highlights the need for compassion and understanding in mental health, as well as the importance of work-life balance and self-care. T akeaways Lacey Redding became a therapist later in life, which she believes has made her a better one. ADHD and complex trauma often coexist, requiring a nuanced approach in therapy. Cultural differences significantly impact how mental health issues are perceived and treated. In Sweden, ADHD diagnoses are conservative, often requiring more visible dysfunction for treatment. The concept of 'Fredagsmys' promotes family bonding through weekly cozy nights. Swedes prioritize work-life balance, with long summer breaks and flexible work hours. Music serves as a vital outlet for emotional expression and healing. Therapists can provide validation and clarity for clients navigating ADHD and trauma. The importance of community and connection in wellness practices is emphasized in Swedish culture. Self-care practices like 'fika' encourage regular breaks and social interaction.
