Sensory self care can be a powerful way to support regulation and reduce overwhelm. This post explores practical, neurodivergent-friendly strategies across each of the five senses.


Smell

A favourite scented stim, like essential oils, candles, or spices such as cinnamon.


Sight

Watching calming loops, a favourite show, or visual stims like kinetic sand or lava lamps.


Touch

Comforting textures, like a pet’s fur or using stim toys such as squishies or picky pads.


Sound

Noise-cancelling headphones, brown noise, or a playlist of comforting and repetitive sounds.


Taste

Safe foods or comfort snacks with familiar and satisfying textures and flavours.


Sensory self care helps meet the nervous system with curiosity and compassion. Which sense do you turn to most often?

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land where I live and work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. I acknowledge that this land was never ceded and always was, always will be Aboriginal land. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

I celebrate, value and include people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, age groups, spiritual beliefs, physical abilities and disabilities.
