Why Trying to Fit In Is Making You Sick

Why does trying to fit in feel so exhausting and even make us sick?In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, I sit down with Kara, an autism consultant, to talk about masking, unmasking, and the toll it takes on our bodies and minds. We explore what masking really is, how it impacts the nervous system, and why learning to unmask can feel like “coming out” again and again. Kara shares powerful tools like the “do-over” technique, using the Visible band for nervous system check-ins, and how unmasking can lead to real healing and connection.
