Therapressure Brush

In Vía’s OT session today she got a therapressure brush. This evening we had some exposure time with it. It’s important to go with her cues and her acceptance or once she feels “stressed” she shuts down and refuses to accept what ever it may be that we’re doing/using (whether it be eating, drinking, or some other task). ⠀

.⠀

I’m hopeful that some daily exposure and usage could help with sensory regulation. Anything to help ease some of her anxiety which makes everyday exposures that another child her age may be OK with cause her to shutdown, become anxious, and be uncomfortable with others/locations/ and situations. ⠀

.⠀

To others these *meltdowns or shutdowns* seem just like a tantrum or just a bratty child. YES. She can be a BRAT for sure BUT other times theres more to it. The difference with her is sometimes these episodes of high stress cause complete shutdown or regression. ⠀

.

It’s seriously rattled my brain to connect the relations of everything TO her oral aversion. I’ve had her therapists and eval specialists tell me and explain things to me multiple times JUST to try to understand it all. I still struggle with it and for me to try to explain it to someone else…oy! Forget it lol!

.⠀

She was receptive to it and it was cute listening to her giggle with it. I let her *do what she wanted* with it between strokes on her arms and back. It was only 2-3minutes but I was happy she was ok with it and liked it. ⠀

I am 35 yrs. old -a Wife and Mother to a Beautiful Boy and my Rainbow Baby Girl. I am a dance and fitness instructor. I own a fitness studio where I offer a variety of fitness classes in the evenings. I recently have become a FULL TIME Fitness Coach after 3+ years of working as a Day Care Assistant after having my Son and leaving my Emotionally Taxing Case Management Position. Fitness is my passion! I love to work out on my own AND with others! Throughout my both of my pregnancies I continued to work out on my own and with Beachbody programs, live my dream of being a work from home mom (for most of the day), and teach at my studio (and other locations) in the evening. After the birth of my son I have worked hard to get my pre-preg. body back. Shaun T's T25 was initial program and then Tony's P90X3 BOTH which I loved the short affective times because with having a newborn baby that was EXACTLY what I needed. I know and understand the self discipline it takes to achieve your desired goals and I am still on that path and have my struggles as everyone else does! I love to offer my support to my clientele with group fitness classes I offer in my community and I feel we work as a team all together to HELP each other. I LOVE offering my support via the web too as I REACH other people that I can't physically see. IT IS AMAZINGLY rewarding and I can't imagine NOT doing what I do! Im currently on my postpartum journey once again and so GRATEFUL and BLESSED to live this healthy lifestyle, lead by example for my family, and support others on their journey too!
