Sensory/occupational therapy

[vergil96]

Is it worth it? The descriptions I've read aren't something that is useful for me. For example calming techniques never worked for me. "Getting used to" a stimulus was something adults tried on me when I was a child, and it was a horror and traumatising. Despite having some knowledge on overstimulation already, I still have a problem with it, this is why I'm looking for help with it. With weak interoception, it's even harder to understand where overstimulation is coming from.

I know nothing about it but my very first gut reaction was the same as yours, that's one of the ways in which I was tormented as a child. You can to some degree teach yourself to tolerate a bit more but that comes at a cost, the same wearying drain as when you're putting up with an injury.

Sometimes the cost is worth it, sort of nature's own buy now pay later scheme.
