Lesson Overview

2.43 – Managing Texture and Sensory Issues with Food: Sensory sensitivity can make eating overwhelming, but planning helps. Identify which textures trigger discomfort—slimy, crunchy, or grainy—and prepare alternatives that meet your comfort zone. Gradual exposure helps expand tolerance without pressure. Cooking methods like blending, roasting, or pureeing can change textures gently. Experiment with temperature, as warm or cold foods may feel easier to handle. Create calm eating spaces free from loud noise or bright lights. Respect your preferences while staying open to slow growth. Managing texture isn’t about forcing change; it’s about self-understanding and patience. Adapting meals mindfully rebuilds trust between your senses and nourishment.
