Episode 28 - Neurodivergence and The Senses with Sue Horrocks

This week Tess & Sarah talk with person-centered Psychotherapist, Systemic Family Practitioner and Clinical Supervisor Sue Horrocks. Throughout the episode they explore what neurodivergence is and how the senses can play a key role in making a person feel comfortable, or not, in their present situation. Sue explains how even small adjustments can make a huge difference in making a person feel more at ease and supported.

The Happy Edit Tool for this week: Look up. We spend so much time looking down. Take a moment, whatever you’re doing and look up. Observe what you notice. Maybe what you notice around you, but also what you notice happens in your body and in your mind. Two little words that can make a huge difference: Look up.

Happiness isn't just being happy, it's an embodied feeling that starts with how we approach life, our actions and our mindset. Everyone has a range of emotions and that’s a good thing. Join The Happy Edit Sisters as they dive into what it means to be happy and how we can build a foundation for happiness through different lenses.
