Why Overstimulation Does NOT Make You a Bad Parent

from Showing Up Undone Hosted by Brittany Bouthilette, RN, Reiki Master

Many neurodivergent parents experience sensory overload, but the guilt that follows can make it feel like a personal failure. In this episode, we talk about how overstimulation affects the nervous system, why it can happen more quickly for neurodivergent people, and why needing space to regulate doesn't make you a bad parent. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the constant sensory input of being a parent, this conversation is for you. https://www.skool.com/sacred-scrubs-1077
