#163 - A Look into Daily Sensory Processing for Adults + We're Sharing Top Secret Information!

Surprise, surprise: all living human beings have a sensory system! 

You may have known that, but did you know that almost everything you experience in your daily life has sensory input of some kind? The simple act of waking up in the morning can entail the use of all eight of your senses, from auditory to tactile to vestibular. 

In today’s episode, you’ll receive a rundown of some of the countless sensory inputs that your system is receiving throughout a typical day. 

Some people’s sensory systems aren’t able to cope with so much input, or certain types of input, and it’s so important to become aware of what inputs may be causing distress to you and your child.
