@bloomotstudio: These are some of the things I keep nearby to support sensory regulation and coping. As an inpatient mental health OT, I find these items really helpful: ✨ Scented lotion & essential oils: Calming scents for grounding and relaxation. ✨ Theraputty: Provides tactile input for grounding and emotional regulation. ✨ Ice packs: Great for TIPP skills and calming intense emotions. ✨ Ear plugs: Helps reduce sensory overload in noisy environments. ✨ Strong taste input: Can help bring attention back. #MentalHealthOT #SensoryRegulation #CopingSkills #OccupationalTherapy #MentalWellness
