This week Garet talks to us about over-stimulation. We've discussed sensory processing disorder but what happens to your brain when you're just overwhelmed by the texture of the chair you're sitting on or how hot you are or how many people are talking at the same time? Well, this week we discuss that and how some super aggressive monkeys near Puerto Rico stopped throwing poop at everyone when they got too hot. And if that's not relatable, what is? Overstimulation has physical and emotional implications and we dive into those aspects of it and we discuss ways to combat overstimulation without medication!
