0:00.0	Welcome to AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get supporting guidance through the chaos of parenting.
0:07.0	Here's your host, Child Therapist Natasha Daniels.
0:11.0	Hello there, I hope you are having a great day. Today I want to talk to you about
0:16.1	the link between sensory processing disorder or sensory issues and
0:25.0	unfortunately I think that a lot of times those issues and anxiety
0:28.0	and unfortunately I think that a lot of times those issues are treated in two completely separate worlds.
0:34.8	You know, a lot of times sensory issues are treated in the occupational therapy world,
0:39.4	and anxiety obviously is treated in the child therapy world. But as a child therapist I can tell you
0:44.8	there is a huge overlap and a lot of parents that come and see me and start to

1:25.0	She doesn't like tags. She likes only cotton clothes that are soft. She can't wear collars.
1:32.0	Things are too tight. things are too loose, her shoes have to be
1:36.3	really tight, or her shoes have to be really loose, or she can't wear sneakers, she has to
1:41.4	wear flip-flops, or crocs, forget about jeans, that's just totally
1:45.8	out of the question. And I'll be really lucky if I can even get near her hair, let alone do any fancy
1:51.8	little style to it.
