Synopsis

Do you feel uptight, anxious and off center? Perhaps you are spacey, confused, distracted and disorganized. Or impulsive, compulsive, or clumsy?

If so, you may have sensory processing disorder (SPD), a common, though relatively unknown condition in which sensory messages get scrambled in the brain and you cannot make accurate sense of, or respond appropriately to your world.

Uptight and Off Center will help you discover the symptoms, causes and many treatments for SPD. It will teach you how to implement a sensory diet for your unique nervous system by implementing sensorimotor activities and mind-body interventions. These interventions will rewire your brain to enable you to take better control over your life. Over time, this will translate into being more balanced, upbeat, productive, energetic, and loving.
