  • Sensory logging

    Back in December I wrote about my intial findings from the sensory log my therapist recommended I keep.

    I never got around to sharing what I found as a result.

    As this shows, I’m over-responsive/avoidant in all my senses, except for smell (which is severely underresponsive for me), tactile and proprioceptive, where I tend to seek out sensory experiences.

    In my auditory sense, I seek out experiences that are under my control, and avoid sensory input that is not under my control – or easily experience overwhelm. My sense of taste is similar, but mostly I am avoidant.

    It seems I would benefit from learning how to be visually and vestibular avoidant, in particular. I’m not sure how to do this though.
