NOTE

Understanding Sensory Preferences and Regulation

People may not always be aware that certain sensory preferences, like seeking sensory input through pain, can help them regulate their emotions and thoughts. Pain can ground individuals in the present moment and provide a distraction from overwhelming emotions. 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.
