Podcasts about overstimulation

Feeling worn out—even after vacation? In this episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro and Dr. Bryan Violette dive deep into why real rest is so elusive in our busy, screen-filled lives. We talk candidly about what it actually means to slow down, how boredom unlocks creativity, why scrolling robs us of wonder, and how true leisure isn't just time off—it's a way to reclaim freedom and connection with God. Whether you're planning your next break or desperate for daily sanity, this is an invitation to rethink rest on a profoundly human level.   Key Topics: Why our culture treats rest like weakness—and why that's wrong The difference between taking time off and actually resting How boredom creates the space needed for real creativity The hidden costs of constant screens and doom-scrolling Structuring vacation time to allow for true leisure Learn More: CatholicPsych Mentorship Program: Get one-on-one support for the areas where you feel stuck.

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships   In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       We often need to recharge after overstimulation. ·       Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. ·       It's important to communicate needs in friendships. ·       Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. ·       Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. ·       Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. ·       Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. ·       We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. ·       It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us.   SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

Show Notes: Anxiety isn't always just a mental issue—it can start in your gut. In this eye-opening episode, Jen sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, a naturopathic doctor and clinical psychologist, to explore how food, trauma, and environmental toxins play a hidden role in anxiety, panic attacks, and brain fog. Dr. Cain breaks down the science behind the gut-brain connection, explains why your symptoms are signals—not problems—and shares simple ways to reclaim your health, naturally.Key Takeaways:Your anxiety isn't the problem—it's your body's way of communicating what needs healing.The gut microbiome plays a major role in anxiety, and it's inherited through generations.Every bite you eat changes your gut bacteria, for better or worse.Hidden ingredients like dyes, additives, and artificial sweeteners can fuel anxiety.Childhood gut health shapes adult brain function—what your kids eat matters.Overstimulation from phones and screens can mimic the symptoms of a panic attackPractical tip: Sleep with your phone out of the room and use a real alarm clock.The 3-Minute Hack: Dr. Cain's simple method for rewiring anxiety through body awareness.Clean eating = clear thinking—use tools like Read the Labels and EWG to spot toxic ingredients.

Performative Expectations vs. Honoring Your Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Needs     In this conversation, Patricia discusses the challenges of navigating personal truths, autonomy, and performative expectations, particularly as an AuDHDer. Patricia reflects on her struggles with body image, the importance of self-trust, the need for autonomy (PDA), honoring her needs as a neurodivergent human, and prioritizing her comfort. She also addresses social anxiety, the joy of spontaneity, and the balance between assertiveness and sensitivity in relationships. Ultimately, Patricia emphasizes personal growth and the acceptance of one's unique identity through the planning and execution of her son's wedding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Navigating personal truths is essential for autonomy, and working with PDA (pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy) ·       Performative expectations can override the needs of the human. ·       Body image issues are apt to come up when asked to wear clothes one doesn't normally wear. ·       Self-trust is crucial in making personal choices. ·       Finding comfort in clothing is important for self-regulation, and feeling authentic. ·       Fear of overwhelm and dysregulation can be mitigated with preparation. ·       Embracing spontaneity can enhance connections with others. ·       Assertiveness is necessary in family dynamics. ·       Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences. ·       Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness.   SOUND BITES "This is not about getting married." "I felt so present." "I really wanted to honor the bride." "I was very disheartened." "I fell in love with it."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to trust that you are exactly where you need to be. There's not anything you need to do. Your value and worth does not come from being productive. You can be stimmy. You can be joyful. You can be quiet.   You can be assertive. You can be moving your body. You can be still. You can want to touch all of the dogs in the world, and all of the horses. You can want to be left alone. You can enjoy being with people not being with people. Every single part of you is okay exactly the way you are.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Personal Truths and Autonomy 03:01 The Impact of Performative Expectations 05:55 Body Image and Self-Trust 09:11 Finding Comfort in Personal Choices 12:11 Overcoming Social Anxiety and Overstimulation 14:52 Embracing Spontaneity and Connection 18:08 Balancing Assertiveness and Sensitivity 20:46 Reflections on Personal Growth and Relationships   PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

Hey friends! In this bite-sized nugget, I'm following up on our convo about phones and overstimulation—because this one really can't be said enough. Today we're talking about how your phone use (yes, even for “productive” stuff like emails and scheduling) is hijacking your nervous system and keeping you stuck in a hypervigilant, crouching-tiger state. I'm breaking down how your vision, your body, and your mental load all take a hit—and sharing a few simple, science-backed tricks to help calm your system on the spot. Spoiler: you don't have to delete Instagram or throw your phone in a lake. But you do need to take your power back.

Overstimulation—it's the #1 thing you guys told me is driving your burnout and overwhelm right now. So, in this bite-sized nugget, I'm breaking it down: what overstimulation really is, why it's not your kids' fault, and what you can do about it (spoiler: it starts with us).You can't ask your kids not to be kids—but you can manage the extra inputs tipping you over the edge. I'm sharing tips on reducing mental clutter, rethinking phone use, why silence is magic, and how to stop trying to “get in the flow” when flow just isn't possible in these early years.Timestamps:(00:00:00) Managing Overstimulation Through Parental Boundaries(00:05:17) Prioritizing Mental Well-Being Through Quiet Moments(00:08:05) Managing Parenting Overstimulation for High-Stress Moments⁠Jamie's Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Oh Crap!

So many new parents (moms especially) experience exhaustion and overstimulation in early parenting. Some struggle more in the baby year with the higher level of touch and sleep disruption. Some struggle more in the toddler years with the increased chaos that often comes with toddlerhood. While these are common experiences, it doesn't mean we have to struggle with no way to support ourselves through them. In this episode I'm joined by Sara Sandland, a wellness coach for moms, to talk about exhaustion and overstimulation. We talk through what's normal tiredness or overstimulation (we all experience these sometimes) verses what's a sign that you could use some additional support and strategies. Sarah also introduces the bucket theory, a way of looking at what adds to our overwhelm, exhaustion, and overstimulation verses what lightens our load and nourishes our energy. We also talk through some ways to better support yourself when you are feeling exhausted and overstimulated. About SaraSara Sandland is a Certified Health & Wellness Coach who specializes in maternal well-being, the motherhood experience, and the process of physically and mentally rebalancing from the physiological changes that happen postpartum and throughout motherhood. As the Founder & Owner of Notably Well, Sara helps moms improve their energy, overstimulation, overwhelm, fulfillment, fertility, weight management, and more through feasible and sustainable adjustments in their lifestyle, behaviors, and mindset so they can feel and function like themselves again and thrive in motherhood.Check out Sara's free guide - The Overstimulated Mom's 3-Step Guide to Reclaim Resilience in Moments of Overwhelmhttps://preview.mailerlite.io/preview/1035554/sites/149340687669658892/Sp0CeUConnect with SaraFree Discovery Call: Book NowWebsite: www.notablywell.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/notablywellFacebook: www.facebook.com/notablywellConnect with Kim Grab the free guide busting common sleep myths and learn more about working with Kim: https://intuitiveparentingdc.com/Instagram: instagram.com/intuitive_parenting_dcFacebook:  facebook.com/intuitiveparentingdc

Today, we're diving into the world of AuDHD – a unique neurotype that combines both Autism and ADHD. This blog post will unpack why your brain might feel sluggish, how overstimulation can quickly spiral, and how sensory overload interferes with communication. We'll also take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a scientific concept that explains how your body reacts to stress – and why that reaction feels so intense for those of us with AuDHD. And don't worry – we'll finish things off with practical strategies to manage sensory overload, all backed by research and neuroscience.Processing Speed in AuDHD: Slowed But Not StoppedLet's kick things off with processing speed – the ability to take in information, understand it, and respond. For those with AuDHD, this doesn't always happen at lightning speed.Autistic processing speed: Many autistic individuals describe their thoughts as moving through molasses, not because they're slow, but because every detail stands out. In fact, research shows that autistic adults consistently perform slower on cognitive tasks, such as symbol search or coding tasks, than their neurotypical peers. This isn't about intelligence – it's about how your brain allocates attention. When the brain is processing a million sensory details, it has fewer resources to devote to thinking and responding.ADHD processing speed: ADHD adds another layer. People with ADHD often experience something called "sluggish cognitive tempo," meaning their minds wander, feel foggy, and take longer to complete tasks. This is especially true when there are multiple steps or a need for quick reactions. ADHD brains struggle to process quickly when distracted by the world around them.When you combine autism and ADHD – AuDHD – the challenges multiply. An AuDHD brain might analyze one piece of a problem deeply (a strength), but then struggle to move on to the next step. Or you may find yourself mentally fatigued after filtering distractions for just a few minutes. The result? Mental fatigue and frustration. Think of trying to work on a puzzle while the TV is blaring, someone's talking to you, and the dog is barking. Your brain is juggling too much, so everything takes longer.The takeaway: Processing speed can feel slow in AuDHD, but it's not about being “slow” – it's about the brain working harder to process sensory information and complete tasks.Sensory Overload: Why Everything Feels Like Too MuchNext, let's talk about sensory overload. For many people with AuDHD, everyday environments can quickly become overwhelming. The world feels too loud, too bright, and too busy.Research points to sensory gating – the brain's ability to filter out irrelevant stimuli. In neurotypical brains, unnecessary sensory input (like background noise) is ignored. But in autism, there's a deficit in sensory gating, meaning the brain fails to filter out irrelevant or background stimuli. Sounds that others don't notice – the ticking of a clock, the hum of a fluorescent light – feel like they're blaring in your ears.On the ADHD side, things are no better. ADHD brains are bombarded by all sensory input because they have trouble filtering distractions. If you imagine your brain as a radio, a neurotypical brain might tune in to one station and block out static. An ADHD brain often has many stations playing at once – all competing for attention.Put both neurotypes together, and you get sensory overload. A gentle hum becomes unbearable, bright lights become blinding, and even the smallest sensory details can cause distress. The result? Overstimulation. One person with AuDHD might describe it as, “The world is speaking all at once, and I can't make it stop.” This overload can trigger panic or anxiety – even if there's no real threat.Story: The Café OverloadImagine this: Alex, who has AuDHD, goes to a coffee shop with a friend. There's music playing, espresso machines whirring, people chatting, and flickering candles. For most people, these sounds might blend into the background. But for Alex, every sound and sight hits like a drum. The coffee grinder is unbearably loud. The flickering lights are dizzying. Even the wallpaper feels like it's spinning.Alex starts to feel overwhelmed. Heart racing. Ears ringing. Brain foggy. They're no longer able to focus on the conversation, and they don't have the mental energy to process the noise and the people. This is sensory overload in action: everything becomes too much, and Alex's brain simply shuts down.The body's autonomic nervous system (ANS) – our stress response system – kicks in, signaling that something is wrong. Even though Alex is safe, the body's reaction is the same as if they were in danger. This leads us to Polyvagal Theory.Communication Challenges During Sensory OverloadSo, what happens when we try to communicate under these conditions? If your brain is overwhelmed with sensory input, there's little energy left for understanding language or speaking. Verbal processing becomes nearly impossible. You might hear your name being called, but you don't register it because your brain is busy filtering out all the noise around you.Research on autism shows that even when a person hears their name in a noisy environment, their brain may not respond, especially if they have limited verbal ability. For someone with AuDHD, ADHD makes it even harder to focus on the conversation when distractions are everywhere. So, you might be physically present in a conversation, but your attention is being hijacked by the flickering light or the pattern on the wall. Suddenly, the words don't make sense, and the world feels fuzzy.Autism Speaks describes this as a “shutdown” – when your brain stops processing speech and communication because it's too busy trying to manage sensory overload. For many, this results in dissociation: feeling out of touch, like you're not part of the conversation.In short: Communication suffers during sensory overload. It's not laziness or avoidance – it's your neurobiology at work. The brain simply doesn't have the resources to handle multiple sensory inputs at once.The Nervous System and Polyvagal TheoryLet's take a closer look at Polyvagal Theory, a concept developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This theory helps explain why sensory overload leads to shutdown or panic.The theory identifies three states your body can be in:Ventral Vagal State (Safe/Social): This is when your body feels calm and connected. When this system is activated, your heart rate and breathing are steady, and communication happens easily.Sympathetic State (Fight/Flight): When a threat is detected (even something as small as a loud noise), the body shifts into “fight or flight” mode. Your heart rate increases, your body prepares to react.Dorsal Vagal State (Freeze/Shutdown): If the threat feels overwhelming and there's no escape, the body enters “freeze mode.” This is where your heart rate and energy levels drop, leading to shutdown. The body feels numb, and you might struggle to speak or move.For those of us with AuDHD, sensory overload can push us into fight/flight or freeze mode. The body's stress response system takes over, shutting down other functions like speech and decision-making. You might feel like you're being “attacked” by noise, lights, and sensations, even though there's no actual threat. Understanding Polyvagal Theory shows us that this response is natural – and not your fault.Coping Strategies for Sensory OverloadNow that we understand the science, let's talk about strategies to manage sensory overload and slow processing speed. These tools can help reset the nervous system and reduce stress:Modify Your Environment: Dim the lights, wear sunglasses indoors, or use noise-canceling headphones to reduce sensory triggers. In a busy setting, head to a quieter corner or play white noise to mask disruptive sounds.Use Sensory Tools: Keep items like weighted blankets, stress balls, or fidget toys on hand. These can help provide calming feedback and redirect attention away from overwhelming stimuli.Take Sensory Breaks: When you start feeling overloaded, take a break. Step outside, do some gentle movement, or engage in deep breathing exercises to reset your body and mind.Communicate Your Needs: If you're in a situation where you're struggling to process information, let people know. Simple phrases like “I need a moment to think” can help others understand when you're overwhelmed.Final ThoughtsAuDHD is a complex neurotype that combines the traits of both autism and ADHD. This makes for a brain that processes information slowly, struggles with sensory overload, and sometimes finds communication challenging. But understanding the science behind it – especially concepts like Polyvagal Theory – can help us make sense of these experiences.The key takeaway is: You are not alone, and it's okay to need extra time, breaks, or accommodations. By learning to recognize the signs of sensory overload and slow processing speed, we can better manage our environment and our reactions.Remember: It's not about “fighting” your brain – it's about learning to work with it. With patience, understanding, and the right tools, you can navigate the world in a way that feels more manageable and less overwhelming.Thank you for reading!

Why is it so hard to focus, especially on the stuff that actually matters? In this episode, I unpack the science behind that resistance, why our brains crave distraction, how dopamine has hijacked our motivation system, and why chasing pleasure might be the exact thing pulling us away from purpose.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

Story at-a-glance Overstimulation is a condition where your brain cannot process sensory information effectively, distinctly different from overwhelm, which is an emotional reaction to stress and responsibilities True sensory overload triggers intense physical and emotional responses, including panic attacks, muscle tension and a strong urge to escape, particularly affecting those with PTSD, autism, ADHD and anxiety disorders Chronic overstimulation often leads to burnout, diminished performance and avoidance behaviors, with even positive life changes triggering overwhelming sensory experiences in sensitive individuals The fight-or-flight response plays a key role in sensory overload, with common triggers including loud noises, bright lights, strong smells and uncomfortable textures Management strategies include creating a personal sanctuary, maintaining proper sleep, taking outdoor walks and nourishing your body with healthy carbohydrates to build resilience against sensory challenges

176  When things are feeling less connected, loving and supportive in your relationship than you want them to as a highly sensitive person, there is an excellent chance a lot of it is coming from chronic dysregulation and emotional overload. In other words, stress.  As Hsps, it is hard to NOT feel overstimulated or stressed in our modern lives. I've recently shared a fair amount about how this leads to nervous system and emotional dysregulation. Which is, honestly, terrible for relationship health! But it is a lot more than the outer world that creates this dysregulation and stress. In this episode I dive into the huge thing that tends to create this internal overstimulation– in other words, how we dysregulated ourselves from the inside out! It's important to SEE this, and how you do it. In this episode I will give you a great starting place. I also share how to stop this internal dysregulation so you can feel peaceful, and be able to give and receive the deepest love, and have the best marriage.I honestly think, without understanding what I share in this episode, it will be 1000 times harder to be alive and to be married as a sensitive person (it sure was for me!).

Today we tackle a challenge that so many of us face but don’t always talk about: how to find true peace in a world overflowing with noise and overstimulation. From the constant pings of our phones and the never-ending news cycle to the mental chatter that never seems to quiet down, it feels like we’re surrounded by chaos. And even when life demands us to be present, the pressure of endless stimulation makes it nearly impossible to find the stillness our souls crave. Join Leanne as we dive into the reality of navigating this noise. She shares her personal journey of learning to silence the external chaos and reconnect with the present, as well as stories from clients who’ve faced similar battles. Together, we’ll explore practical steps to turn down the volume of life’s distractions and create moments of stillness where we can reconnect with ourselves and hear God’s whisper amidst the noise. Because peace isn’t about removing all the noise—it’s about finding calm and connection even when life is anything but quiet. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply exhausted by life’s constant demands, this episode will help you reclaim your peace and find sacred spaces in your everyday life, so you can turn up the volume on what truly matters.

Chapter 1: Summary of Simplicity Parenting"Simplicity Parenting" by Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross presents a compelling approach to parenting that emphasizes the importance of simplifying a child's environment and daily life to foster emotional well-being and resilience. The authors argue that modern culture's focus on busyness, over-scheduling, and materialism can overwhelm children, leading to stress and anxiety.The book outlines four key areas for simplification:1. Environment: Create a calm and orderly physical space by reducing clutter and distractions. A simplified environment can help children feel more secure and focused.2. Rhythm: Establish consistent daily and weekly rhythms, which provide a sense of security and predictability. This structure helps children know what to expect and reduces anxiety.3. Information: Limit the amount of information and media exposure. The authors encourage parents to be mindful of the content and quantity of what children consume, advocating for less screen time and more engaging, time-honored forms of play and learning.4. Choices: Reduce the number of choices children have to make, which can overwhelm them. Instead, offer limited, manageable options that help children feel empowered without feeling burdened.Payne and Ross emphasize that by simplifying these aspects of life, parents can help create a nurturing and supportive environment that enables children to thrive emotionally and socially. The book provides practical strategies and insights to guide parents in implementing these principles, ultimately fostering deeper connections within families and promoting healthier development for children.Chapter 2: The Theme of Simplicity Parenting"Simplicity Parenting: Using the Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids" by Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross advocates for a minimalistic approach to parenting and childhood that emphasizes the benefits of simplicity. While the book is not a narrative work with traditional plot points or character development, it presents vital concepts and practices in child-rearing. Here are key ideas and themes from the book: Key Points:1.

Four Key Principles of Simplicity Parenting:Payne and Ross outline four essential areas to simplify:- Environment: Creating a calming and organized physical space by reducing clutter and distractions.- Rhythms: Establishing predictable daily routines that provide structure and security for children.- Schedules: Allowing unstructured playtime and freedom from excessive extracurricular activities to encourage creativity and independence.- Filtering Information: Moderating the types of media and information children are exposed to, ensuring it is age-appropriate and not overwhelming.3. Importance of Safe Spaces:- The authors emphasize the need for children to have safe, nurturing environments where they can express themselves and explore their interests without fear of judgment.4. Connection Over Control:- They advocate for a parenting style that prioritizes emotional connection and understanding over strict discipline or control, fostering a supportive relationship between parents and children. Character Development:While "Simplicity Parenting" does not have characters in a fictional sense, the concept of character development can be linked to:- Parent Growth: The book suggests that parents should reflect on their own values and behaviors.
