Women are biologically and emotionally more sensitive than males, this is what makes us good nurturers and highly compassionate. But also heightened sensory sensations, are a common trait in those who are neurodiverse, commonly known as ‘Sensory processing disorder’. Some areas of the sensory makeup are more intense than others. Many find this with touch and not wanting to be touched or in close contact with others.
So already the neurodiverse Woman has a very heightened experience of her internal and external environment.ring into this a monthly menstrual cycle of ups and downs, biologically alternating levels of hormones and sensory input and output. Riding an emotional rollercoaster.
Menopause can be an even greater challenge to face especially for those that struggled with their monthly menstrual cycle. There is less predictability in the cycle itself, mood swings and issues with all 5 senses are affected, regulation of body temperature, feelings of skin crawling, insomnia and depression can be felt on an even greater level than those who are not neurodiverse.
All neurodiverse Women, are most welcome to attend any of my classes and treatments. I offer a ‘Sensory Profile’ handout that you can fill in and share with me, if you wish to do so.
Having a sensory profile can help you feel more comfortable and supported. There is no judgement only a beautiful space for you to be yourself.
