I'm so glad that the permission and normalizing to make sensory mistakes was helpful-I'm actually quite late to responding to this comment as I've had to essentially take 2 weeks off of tech to recovery from sensory overstimulation. I'll likely write more about the experience but it actually felt really healing to tend to my sensory needs with so much compassion and grace-even when I continued to make sensory mistakes. Like "wow, now I have a headache because I decided to google this random thing that wasn't urgent at all" and just be kind of curious and really kind to myself about it-or even to laugh about it!
