Some image I found when searching for deep pressure on duckduckgo. Never heard of the term before, buuuuuut seems interesting...

Also, from the same image, there is a hotdog

I used to do this as a child, alone..

And now I ask YOU, have you heard of this deep pressure term before? What are your experiences? (Now u be the entertainer! I'm done with pretending!)

Someone I know was working with a person who has a therapy dog. Apparently the dog is trained to understand when they become overwhelmed and just sit on them. It sounds like it has a similar mechanism to these techniques.

I have seen plenty of video thumbnails about this exact thing while searching about "deep pressure" online. I got very oversaturated

I have no idea what this is supposed to be but that looks super relaxing. Especially the "rolling a ball on your back" part.

Yeah, right? It does look really relaxing and comfy. I should have linked the original image, here it is

The child is always the meat... curious

EDIT: I would recommend generally searching for the term online. They got some real interesting stuff on that there.

I know another commenter mentioned stuff about autism but I have adhd and a weighted blanket, ah chefs kiss

Edit: Meant to make this a stand alone comment, no idea why it’s a reply, phone must be haunted again

Well now I GOTTA get a weighted blanket! Are there any ones you would recommend, maybe a specific type?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I’m trying voyagers image upload so let’s hope this works but mine was a gift and it’s like this sleeping bag material (dunno what to call it) like it’s not fuzzy like my other blankets

I also sleep with a light blanket on top of my weighted and a heavy blanket on top of that and they’re both fuzzy on the bottom

Usually when I wake up my weighted and heavy blanket are pushed off to the side so ig I get hot at night lol

Hopefully my word vomit makes sense at one point or another
