3/ Your Brain Was Shaped By Early Stress "The human brain develops under the impact of the environment." Maté's proof: Born under Nazi occupation, his stressed mother couldn't soothe him. His brain learned to "tune out" for survival. The damage was done before he could walk.

5/ Medications Miss The Point Entirely Maté took Ritalin and Dexedrine for years. Did they help? Yes. Did they solve anything? No. "I became a more efficient workaholic... didn't change any emotional issues." What he discovered next changed everything...

Strategy #1: Externalize time. "ADHD people have no internal clock." Solution: Make time physical and visible. - Use timers for everything - Visual schedules/calendars - Time-tracking apps - Break tasks into small time chunks Time must be SEEN, not just conceptualized.
