There are days when it feels like everything is touching you at once. The lights are too bright. The sounds are too close. Someone is talking while something is beeping while your clothes suddenly feel wrong on your skin, and one more person asking you a question feels like more than you can hold.
Inside this collection
When the lights, sounds, touch, movement, and people around you all start feeling like too much at the same time.
For sensitive nervous systems that need less input, not more advice.
When someone else’s mood enters your body before they have even told you what is wrong.
When everyone else seems ready for the next thing, but your body is still trying to recover from the last one.
When you have been misunderstood enough times that you start questioning your own experience before anyone else even gets the chance.
When part of you knows it is time to move on, but your brain still feels stuck in whatever came before.
When everyone thinks you are doing fine because they cannot see how much work it takes to look fine.
When the places and practices that are supposed to help you feel close to God actually leave you more overwhelmed than connected.
Membership opens every topic and practice, Body First for when your body is loud, weekly Q&A with Amanda, and a quiet community.
