This episode explores the world of stimming: what are they, who does them and why?! Zazi and Tess discuss their stims, finding commonalities between their cricket feet and enjoyment for sharp items in their hands (weird, we know). They explain why stims shouldn't (for the most) part be discouraged, but give practical strategies for if they become self injurious. As per usual, Zazi and Tess share what's going on in their personal lives, from masseter botox to topical steroid withdrawal.
