Dyslexia affects an estimated 15–20% of learners, yet many families are still told to “wait and see.” Russell challenges that narrative — not just from an educational standpoint, but from a human one. We explore how repeated misunderstanding, academic struggle, and being labeled “behind” or “lazy” can leave deep emotional and energetic imprints. Our conversation goes beyond reading strategies into the hidden cost of dyslexia: How learning differences can create trauma in the nervous system How chronic frustration and shame can lead to aspects of soul loss Why being unseen or misunderstood at a young age changes identity How reclaiming lost parts of the self supports both learning and healing Russell also shares why multisensory, structured-literacy approaches are so effective — not just academically, but somatically — and how parents can begin supporting their children in practical ways tonight, rather than waiting for the next report card or diagnosis.
