[E7] Sensory Processing in Adults: The Conversations We’ve Been Missing
With Hosts: Carrie Schmitt and Robyn Chu
Show Description
Sensory processing doesn’t disappear in adulthood; we just stop giving it language and support or people find ways to structure their life that work.
If you have ever thought “I know my kids are struggling, but so am I,” this one is for you. Robyn Chu and Carrie Schmitt turn the conversation toward sensory processing in adults, why everyday life can feel so draining, and simple ways to support your own sensory wellness. Because needing support doesn’t mean you’re fragile, it means you’re paying attention to what you need.
