Try to get very specific about the things you don't want in your life.
Instead of "that asshole of a boss," what's more useful is "he does these specific behaviors," or "has these particular personality traits," or "these particular ways of communicating that just do not work with my brain." 1/2

There was a good decade where I barely brushed my teeth. And I was severely judgmental to myself about that.
But it wasn't because "I'm a crap person who can't do adult things." 1/2

When I learned I was Autistic, and saw everyone talking about sensory stuff, I didn't think it applied much to me.
I knew I was sensitive to lights and loud noises. I didn't like tags in clothing. But beyond that — not much, I thought. 1/2

It's important to know what you need.
But it's just as important to know what you need to *not* be there. (And to not mistake something for a need that isn't one.)#ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #Autistic #Neurodiversity #Sensory #Interoception

What feels less bad?
Sometimes it's harder to ask about what feels good.
Sometimes the question is 'what feels less bad?'

If your negative thought is genuinely just describing how things are, with no interpretation on the facts — that's not something you need to talk yourself out of. But if it's the way you're thinking about something, there might be some flexibility in that. 1/2

I used to be very, very numb to anything having to do with internal awareness. 1/3

A common thing when you start exploring sensory stuff is that you find all this stuff that you’ve been shutting out, you’ve been working to dissociate from, to ignore, to numb, or to cancel out in various ways.
And it just feels like everything is just more annoying rather than helping. 1/3

Occasionally, I’ll wear a couple of my shirts that have collars, but I’m constantly tugging at them all day long. And I hate anything touching my neck, but I kept buying shirts with collars. 1/3

Blunted pathways in the insula cortex cause the brain to miss gradual signals. Hunger doesn't build slowly. It arrives as a physical emergency.
You didn't forget to eat. Your body failed to warn you.

Your body knows things.
Getting in touch with my physical sensations helps me make decisions, because my body gets more tense when I think about one option and more relaxed when I think about another. 1/2
-
When emotions come up, it can help to ask yourself what you're noticing in your body right then. That starts connecting "hey, there's an emotional experience here" with the physical sensations connected to it. 1/2

If physical sensations and emotions seem non-relevant to you, like they did to me for most of my life, here’s an explanation. 1/5

For many of us, it’s really hard to know what we want, or even acknowledge that we have wants (especially when wanting has been very thoroughly trained out of us), but I guarantee you that you have wants. 1/3
-
Get very specific, around the negative thoughts that come up for you. What is it actually saying?
What are the goals of those thoughts? Are they trying to talk you out of something? Are they trying to help you by keeping you out of a situation that you got hurt in before? Are they repeating the things that you heard as a kid?

Will increasing internal awareness make things worse?

You have decades of information stored in your body about what’s okay and what’s not.

Notice even tiny moments when there's no panic attack, and stress is a tiny bit lower. Simply remind yourself in the slightly better moments that it is slightly better.

Maybe there's a reason why you're not doing that thing. Maybe there's a sensory issue going on. Maybe it's overwhelming your nervous system. Maybe you physically or cognitively don't know how to do it.
So your brain defaults to just not doing it.

Becoming more aware of what is going on inside you, both physically and emotionally, is invaluable.

What if a meltdown wasn't a "bad" thing, but a signal that you're having trouble coping with something? Or that you need something you're not getting?

Believing that your wants exist, matter, and can be met, is the first step in learning to figure out what you want.

Can you read while there is audible language around you? Talking, shows, music, etc.
As for me, that’s a strong no.

Anxiety or Sensory Sensitivity? Here's How to Tell
-
Physical sensations and thought always go together. We may not always pay attention to both of those, but we can connect them. When we notice one of them, we can look for the information from the other.

Research into brain–body communication is being reinvigorated as the field unites under the umbrella of #interoception. Our new #Editorial highlights four Perspectives that show the breadth of this emerging field

Interoceptive signals from organs such as heart, lungs and gut influence many aspects of organismal physiology and behavior. This #PLOSBiology Perspective argues that liver signaling via the vagal nerve is another avenue of body-brain communication that shapes metabolism and mood #neuroscience #interoception

Decoding the body’s internal signals could revolutionize Whole Person Health. This #PLOSBiology Perspective suggests a research framework linking brain, body and behavior to foster resilience, self-regulation and holistic well-being #neuroscience #interoception

The field of #interoception research is growing at a rapid pace. This #PLOSBiology Perspective highlights why establishing both mechanistic insight and construct validity will be critical prerequisites for developing effective body-based health interventions #neuroscience

Whether we are aware of what’s going on or not, our body will react entirely truthfully to a situation. If you don’t like something, it will react like ‘I don’t like this’.
