I invite you to pay attention to when and how you notice this showing up most for you and if there are any particular sounds or types of sounds that are the most aggravating.Take time to brainstorm strategies to minimize sound, manage emotions, and decrease stress as part of a larger, long term plan to decrease the intensity in which you experience auditory overstimulation.Have questions you'd like me to answer on the podcast?
