In today\u2019s rebroadcast, Holly Blanc Moses (AuDHD therapist, evaluator, and mom) gets deeply personal, sharing powerful stories from her own childhood and adulthood that reveal what sensory differences really feel like from the inside. From the \u201csock struggle\u201d to being pushed into a pool, to finally standing under a waterfall at 50 years old\u2014Holly opens the door to understanding sensory experiences in a way that is validating, compassionate, and unforgettable. Whether you're a parent, therapist, or educator, this episode will help you see big reactions, meltdowns, refusals, or \u201csensitivities\u201d through an entirely new lens: \u2728 One rooted in sensory distress, not misbehavior. \u2728 One grounded in emotional safety, not compliance. \u2728 One that teaches us to believe kids\u2014even when we don\u2019t fully understand. Because when we understand sensory needs, we understand the child.
