Are You Mad Or Are You Overstimulated?
As mothers, we often mistake our feelings of sensory overload for anger. We're peeling back the layers on this misunderstood emotion, exploring how overstimulation can trigger our fight, flight or freeze responses, and looking at how this can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Let's face it, our nervous systems can take a real beating in the whirlwind of motherhood.
We dive into the importance of recognizing our triggers, setting healthy boundaries, and taking crucial steps to nurture our battered nervous systems when overstimulation hits. This journey of self-discovery equips us with tools to handle our children's devices and activities when we're at our limit, and teaches us to shift from self-blame to self-care.
