Vanessa Gorelkin is an Occupational Therapist who often works with ND folks. She shares about compassionate approaches to daily life tasks.
The main tool she shared is creating a crisis kit to use when experiencing distress in public, at work, or anywhere that you can't be fully unmasked. List of suggested items below.
Crisis kit items suggested in episode:
- alcohol swabs (to smell for state change)
- instant ice packs
- extreme sour candies
- lemon juice packet
- hot sauce packet (mustard is Mattia's)
- distress card requesting using the bathroom (or whatever's helpful for you)
