What is Sensory Defensiveness - Ep279

Through a Therapist's Eyes Podcast

In Episode 279, we delve into sensory defensiveness, a condition where individuals experience extreme sensitivity to stimuli like touch, sound, light, and movement, often linked to sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD, and anxiety. We explore its causes, ranging from neurological and genetic factors to early childhood experiences, and its impact on social interactions, education, and daily activities. We discuss therapeutic approaches, highlighting the role of occupational therapy and sensory integration techniques, and offer practical strategies for creating sensory-friendly environments and advocating for those affected.
