      I'm so sorry for what this trait has been doing to your life. Something like this that hasn't been understood by the people around you, I'm referring to your parents mainly, through your childhood and while growing up, but who knew They were probably in the dark with it, same as your teachers ...
      I'm not blaming them for not (being able) to help you with what you must have been trying to get a grip on "all alone" the fear has to be terrible causing so much anxiety for you to cope with scared and alone 😱 my granddaughter 14, is suffering with this and has been since much younger 💔💕❤💔 thankfully my daughter lookS up different things and found out about the sensory issues. Has just started a Therapist 2-3 visits i hope it helps her understand herself better deal with this so she cah have happiness In her young teenage years! It's hard enough with hormonal changes going on and all this in the mix plus she's not handling this covid 19 lockdown Too well!! I'm worried.... ¯(°_o)/¯ 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I needed this video. My daughter has gone under the radar, even though I voiced concerns since preschool. She is almost 16yrs in 10th grade and highschool and the shift to being responsible for herself and not the teacher, has been to much. She was never absent (any change to her schedule causes overload)
    However for almost 2yrs , she's exhausted 24/7 and shuts down, goes mute and we are lucky to get her to go 3 days a week. Everything is just to much and her anxiety, her senses are off the charts, she becomes scared, confused and complains about her memory being awful. This video confirmed what I've been trying to explain to her school.

    This is profound. I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders for most of my life without recourse. While I do have ADHD and PTSD, this explains so much about why traditional methods of mental health treatment have not worked very well (skills based have worked in the moment, but tools are difficult to access post therapy). The psychological impacts of not being validated or understood for 36 years are profound. Something as simple as sleeping under an appropriately weighed blanket and implementing fidgets has helped tremendously. This understanding has also led to the process of diagnosing other processing disorders that have gravely impacted my quality of life and independence :-) thank you for your work

    I have sensory hypersensitivities, especially auditory (I hope to get evaluated for Auditory Processing Disorder, soon), and I am very thankful that the subtitles on this video kept me distracted from the frequent refocusing of the camera.
    I have severe clinical social anxiety (and GAD), and that mixed with my auditory processing difficulties drives me up the wall in social situations...but I’ve never thought about whether my anxiety or my sensory hypersensitivities came first. Thanks for this insightful analysis!

    I know I suffer from anxiety disorder, but there have always been “little things” about me that people raise an eyebrow at, but nothing is ever enough for anyone to ask “does she have Autism/a sensory issue?” One example is when I’m at work and there is a birthday party happening in my class, other teachers call me a “stickler” because I refuse to let the children play with the party balloons. I can’t take the noise it makes when they pop. My family calls me weird cuz I literally leave the room if the kids are gonna “get rid” of the balloons using their feet. That just one example. I don’t understand why I can take hugs from strangers or handshakes (this forced “professional” interaction gives me a whole 10 mins of mental stress) and I can only hug or cuddle with family/SO for like a few seconds before I begging them to give me space. I wish I understood that. I’m not able to focus on people talking if there is too much background noise. I hear EVERYTHING. ALWAYS. At the SAME TIME and it’s dizzying. I constantly spaced out in school and was labeled “A day dreamer” because after a while I’d get exhausted trying to tune all of the sounds out to focus on the teachers/college professors words.

      I hear you on the sound front, I'm the same. I hope you, at least, live in a peaceful environment. Good sleep, exercise, gardening and not eating processed foods all help me to be much more 'tolerant' (esp sleep). I also hear meditation helps to 'rewire' the brain and reduce arousal states. Wishing you the best.

    I'm 21 and have been diagnosed as a child. But my parents, my audiologist, my doctors have never told me that my sensorial problem could cause anxiety and I've been living thinking that I depressed and suffering anxiety for another hole reason when it's really not. And in this very world wide pandemic with online classes and me having such a hard time paying atention in the teacher, because I just can't quite recognize all that he says and not having friends to ask questions about the class. I was completely lost. Thanks for explaining that it's okay all this and it does have a reasonable explanation for all that.

      I am in the same boat as you. I was diagnosed as a child but all my physiatrists through the years have told me that I have BPD or that I have schizophrenia. No one has ever talked to me about my SPD and now that I am in university and doing school work online, I am having a really hard time doing basic tasks. Ligia, If you ever want to talk about the struggles or if anyone does, I would really like to have a conversation about SPD. I feel so alone right now and would love to talk to others about SPD.

    When you say approx @7:22 "You nourish the child's sensory systems and then you wait...and if the child is able to better adapt better then you know that fundamentally what is going on is not anxiety." Well,, the problem here is how do you know that from a polyvagal perspective, the child's anxiety did not orginially and significantly manifest (and the key word here is "significantly") in terms of over, under or mixed sensory responsivities across domains, granted with, in sone cases, with an underlying constitutional predisposition to some degree? After working as a developmental therapist/special educator using DIR/Floortime for the last 20 years, I am not that certain that anxiety is not the primary driving factor causing or signficantly exacerbating sensory modulation difference. It is certainly a much more intertwined mixture then many Occupational therapists in the field generally believe.
    What I do know, however, is when anxieties are reduced through increased feeling of interoceptive calm or relational safety/neuroception then the affected or heightened areas of manifested sensory responsivities (e.g., visual-spatial, auditory-prosodic, tactile gestural and so forth) signficantly decreases and if you will begin to become more integrated! Moreover, paradoxically, when you noursih the sensory systems you are never doing so in an isolated or compartmentalized fashion but in a warm, reassuring and engaging fashion (i.e., increase recprocal affect regulation/co-regulation) which then significantly allows for the sympathetics to calm and become adaptively optimized for more integrated (available) engagement.

    Let’s say a patient has Generalized Anxiety Disorder, can they have sensory issues caused by this or that is a source of anxiety? Because I have GAD and noises cause me a lot of distress. Even regular noises we hear each day like the washing machine or the dish washer stress me out and overload my head. I’ve only been experiencing this since the 8th grade and now I’m in 11th which makes me wonder if it’s possible to put SPD on the plate. I want to talk to my psychiatrist about it because it affects my everyday life. What is your insight on this situation? Thank you
