Episode 3: Stimming
Stimming is crucial for neurodivergent regulation, shaping brain development and emotional resilience.
Suppressing it disrupts self-regulation and increases stress. Understanding stimming's role can transform support for neurodivergent individuals.
Elizabeth Morrison explores how sensory behaviors generate dopamine, regulate arousal, and develop interoception. Interrupting stimming can lead to sensory overwhelm and anxiety.
Key insights include:
• Stimming as a reset button
• Critical windows for regulation
• Impact of suppression on stress and brain structure
This episode is essential for those seeking to understand the importance of sensory behaviors for wellbeing, shifting the focus from correction to support.
