Chloe Kim details her two-year therapeutic journey, initially struggling with intense emotional reactivity and a feeling of not showing up authentically in her relationships. She describes experiencing explosive reactions, racing thoughts, and physical sensations of distress. A psychiatrist diagnosed her with severe ADHD, depression, and anxiety, prioritizing the ADHD regulation due to its potential to cause the other conditions. This diagnosis allowed her to shift focus in therapy from immediate crisis management to addressing deeper trauma, leading to greater calm and reduced reactivity. The claim concludes by stating that this shift has enabled her to engage more effectively with her healing process.
