Q&A: Is my child anxious or just sensitive? Or could it be both?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

Regardless of whether your child is experiencing sensory sensitivities or anxiety, our goal is the same - helping you define exactly what that goal is.
Where do anxiety and sensory sensitivities overlap? (Spoiler: A lot of this boils down to nervous system regulation.)
How you can help your child understand what their unique triggers are and the tools and strategies that can help them navigate these without so much distress.
What to consider to help you if it's time for an intervention, like occupational therapy, parenting support, individual therapy for your child.
