Understanding Your Sensory World
📋 What it is
Everyone's senses work a little differently; being more or less sensitive to sound is a normal difference, not a flaw.
🗣️ Coach says
Your senses are how you take in the world — and they're a bit different for everyone. Some people notice quiet sounds others miss; some find loud places tiring. None of that is "wrong" — it's just how your particular senses are tuned. Knowing your own tuning helps you set yourself up to feel comfortable.
