Listen "ep3 sensory overwhelm"
Episode Synopsis
Join us as we unravel the complexities of sensory overwhelm. We start by defining it as the brain receiving more sensory input than it can process, leading to stress, anxiety, and disorientation. Through personal anecdotes, we illustrate the everyday challenges of living in a sensory-rich world. The constant bombardment of stimuli often leaves us craving moments of quiet to recharge. Together, we explore the many ways we navigate this overstimulating environment. We dive deep into sensory processing, unpacking the difference between hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity. You'll learn about the 8 senses — the five we’ve known since childhood (sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing), and the three internal senses: interoception, proprioception, and the vestibular system. Understanding our sensory differences is the first step in accommodating our differing needs. Finally, we take a lighter turn with an exploration of the salad dressing market, touching on the rich history and modern-day popularity of packaged dressings, with a nod to ranch dressing's beloved status in the United States.
