Finding ways to help reduce anxiety and stress

Anxiety is something that we all experience at times and we will all feel anxious about different situations. Sensory Direct understands that having good quality coping mechanisms is really important for when we feel our anxiety is getting in the way of our day to day life. 

We also understand that many autistic children and adults and individuals with other additional sensory needs commonly experience daily anxiety. The daily or constant feeling of anxiety can become distressing, not only for the anxious person, but also for the carer.

The first step in findings solutions that work in reducing the feeling of anxiety is to try and understand what the triggers are.

Triggers can come in a number of ways, but for autistic children and adults triggers are often social situations or environments that are, for example, too noisy, too smelly or too busy. 

Triggers can also be caused by difficulties in expressing and communicating either through lack of self awareness and expression or difficulties in social interaction. All of these triggers can lead to meltdowns and withdrawal from situations.

We have put together a number of our products that can show you there are plenty of things you can do to help with mild to severe anxiety. 

Our UK made Weighted Products offer deep pressure to the body and can feel like a reassuring hug. We have Ear Defenders and Ear Plugs that reduce the stresses from the noises of the wearer's surroundings. A huge selection of hand fidget toys and puzzles to focus minds and divert the feeling of anxiety to hands and fingers and our Chewbuddy® oral chew range is a safe and hygienic alternative to non-edible chews for those that seek out sensory feedback to the mouth and jaw during times of unrest or worry.
