The Connect My Brain Podcast
You’ve tried everything. So why are you, or your child, still struggling?
Many of the families and adults who come to my clinic have tried everything, yet they’re still frustrated, overwhelmed, and asking: Why is this happening, and what can we do about it?
I’m Dr. Laura Hanson, and helping people find answers is what I love to do. I created the Connect My Brain podcast to take the work I do beyond my clinic walls and give you a better understanding of what may be happening in the brain—and what you can do next.
From ADHD, OCD, and learning difficulties to mood challenges and stubborn negative patterns, we’ll explore the brain in a whole new way.
New episodes drop on Thursdays.
