Sensory defensiveness

What is sensuality? How can an individual increase their intimacy with his or her partner through arousal senses? When thinking about the term sensuality, individuals often connect it with the concept of sex. In the book, “The Body Sensual: 5 Senses That Arouse Your Passions,” Clinical Sexologist, Tova Feder states, “Sensuality ignites the passions and opens up the soul to the vast panorama of delights the world has to offer. It enables you to experience life with heightened awareness and…

The Secret to Love: Analyzing the Relational Stages shown in the Movie When Harry Met Sally There are many relationships that can be seen inside the movie When Harry Met Sally, a comedy directed by Rob Reiner. The most underrated and interesting relationship, I would argue, is the relationship between Jess and Marie. Where Harry and Sally resemble many other common love stories, Jess and Marie’s relationship is much deeper and significant in its meaning. On the surface, their relationship is…

A true hero is: someone who puts others needs in front of theirs and never does anything bad to hurt anyone. In The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, three law-breaking Greasers are said to be heros from saving a few kids from a fire. But, a hero stays with that sense of heroism forever, which Johnny and Dally don’t have, but Pony seems to be the only one that does. Even though, Johnny and Dally may have had a small sense of heroism when they were willing to risk their lives to save the children, there…

cerebral vascular accident (CVA), also known as a stroke, occurs when there is a lack of blood flow to a portion of the brain. According to the International Stroke Center1, about 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stoke each year. Greater than two-thirds of those who survive a CVA receive rehabilitation services after being hospitalized.2 It is estimated that over $34 billion is spent each year on health care for patients who have suffered a CVA. Functional deficits vary depending on…

accurate as they may seem. For instance, perception of pain in the body and sense of touch may get lost in translation. Pain can sometimes be overlooked, such as when an athlete gets injured, they may not realize the severity of the injury because the sensory nerves are blocking out the feeling of pain until after. When people undergo amputation, sometimes, after the surgery and recovery, people will feel like their limb is there when it is not, which is called a phantom-limb. One can feel…

Pictures Imagery gives you so much more insight to what the author is trying to say. Without imagery stories would be so much harder to understand. In the poem, “The Boy at the Window,” by, Richard Wilbur, we see many lines of imagery. Wilbur uses imagery to develop his poem by telling us of many different things that we can picture in our minds. In the beginning of the poem the author says, “The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare a night of gnashing’s and enormous moan.” (L3, L4) The…

Removing the sense of sight altered the ability to identify taste among the flavors of jelly beans being sampled by the test subjects. The control group was able to easily recognize the lime, cherry, orange and banana flavors. Test subjects 1 and 2 were given the citrus flavors lime and orange consecutively so perhaps the sour taste influenced their taste perception. Pear was the least distinguishable and was associated with a different type of fruit. Experimental group 1 had a significant…

all of his or her sensory systems at one time forcing him or her to focus on multiple stimulations at once. Every time the child catches the ball and tosses it back the exercise is repeated. With each repeat the patient’s neural connections improves. There is research evidence to support that the iLS program helps children with SPD function better in society. This was addressed in a study by Sarah A Schoen, A Pilot Study of Integrated Listening Systems for Children With Sensory Processing…

The intervention strategies the clinician will use to target Amanda’s specific language weakness are narratives and discourse. The client’s teacher main concerns were the areas of expressive language skills as well as limited vocabulary. The clinician will target narratives and discourse to increase the client’s expressive language skills. Research by McCabe and Bliss, supports that children should have the ability to provide with a minimum of two events in a narrative. The clinician can…

Ayres, who is known for her work on sensory integration, “maintained that the basic operating premise of the theory of sensory integration is that effective learning occurs when the senses are stimulated with incoming information” (Ragonese 3). The five senses have organs which are made up of cells that are connected to the nervous system. When there is an interruption…
