Sensory Regulation with Joanne Seymon
The Neurodivergent Woman

Understanding why individuals engage in activities like pulling hair or picking at nail beds, even engaging in non-self-harm cutting, can help them feel less broken. Providing a safe option for exploring these sensory preferences is crucial, along with offering reassurance and understanding behind the behavior to support individuals in managing their regulation needs effectively.
