Sensory Overload

Sensory overload!

Have you ever walked into a space, either a shop, conference, hospital, school etc and felt totally overwhelmed from the noises, smells, the lights are too bright and you don’t know where to look, as there’s stuff everywhere? Yep! I do! This is sensory overload and it’s a common thing we as humans all experience. Our bodies and brains are wonderful at coping and understanding our needs. However, sometimes it can be too much and we might need support or devices to help us live our best lives. Being inclusive of others needs and their ways of coping is one of the kindest acts we can offer.

I wonder what has helped you when you have felt this way?

Nature has a way of supporting our sensory system.

Mud is a wonderful natural sensory experience.
