Sensory toolkit.
Understand your sensory experience - identify triggers, track symptoms, manage sensory overload, build boundaries and resilience.
Watch how your nervous system calms and inflammation regulates.
Exploring the toolkit…
As you explore this sensory toolkit, you will start to become aware of how your sensory system sits at the heart of your nervous system.
Many of us struggle with sensory overwhelm in the modern world. Chronic sensory overwhelm can dysregulate the entire nervous system. As set out in module 4 of the course, this can lead to inflammation and reduced immune tolerance, including autoimmune disease.
It may feel difficult to tap into your sensory system experience at first. Many of us will unknowingly have struggled with sensory overwhelm in the past and subconsciously resorted to numbing our sensory experience simply to survive.
Yet if you return to this toolkit regularly, working your way through it a little at a time, you will rediscover your connection with your sensory system and this will reveal a whole new level of information that you didn't know you had!
As you start to identify triggers, track your symptoms, manage your sensory overload and build boundaries and resilience, your nervous system will regulate. This is turn influences many other systems in your body to operate in less inflammatory modes (digestion, metabolism, hormones, gut microbiota…).
Inserting boundaries into your daily life to protect and nourish your sensory system will be a key part of this work. Boundaries are something many of us struggle with, but approaching boundaries from a sensory perspective can give us new insight into how we can go about rebuilding healthy boundaries.
The research on nervous system health and autoimmune conditions is overwhelmingly clear; if you can regulate your nervous system, you will reduce your inflammation levels and regain a greater level of immune tolerance.
How to use the toolkit
Work through this toolkit one step at a time. There are also a couple of questionnaires at the bottom of this page that you can use to help identify your sensory likes and dislikes, and also to help you track your nervous system state.
Paying attention to your sensory system and making allowances for it may feel self-indulgent at first. If you feel yourself getting annoyed and resisting these ideas, it may be that you have grown up with social conditioning that encouraged you to think that looking after yourself and being sensitive was somehow weak.
But your sensory system exists to tell you what your body needs in that moment. It is always right and following its cues will allow your nervous system to regulate.
Reconsider your approach now. Be curious about tapping in to your sensory system and giving it what it needs. Observe how this changes your days, your stress levels, your wellbeing and your enjoyment of your day-to-day life, as well as your autoimmune symptoms.
