Sensory Overload: Moms Have Meltdowns Too
Manage episode 483865390 series 3646216
In this episode, we tackle the all-too-familiar but rarely discussed phenomenon of parental sensory overload. While we're quick to recognize when our children are overwhelmed by sensory input, we often overlook the same signs in ourselves. Lauren explores why scientific studies are showing that 75% of parents experience sensory overload, what triggers these moments of overwhelm, and practical strategies to help you regain your center when everything becomes too much.
Key Points Discussed:
- The 'ah ha' moment Lauren had when she learned parents can experience this just like our kids do
- The research she dove into to learn more about what parents are really experiencing, but hardly ever talking about
- What it looks like to have sensory overload
- How we are thinking about the solution for this differently today than past generations
- Practical solutions we can use to help ourselves when we get overloaded with too much
