The Body-Based Factors Workbook
Hormones, sensory input, sleep, somatic considerations, and nutrition
Our emotions don’t exist in isolation from our bodies. They’re influenced by energy, hormones, sleep, and the sensory world we move through. This workbook helps you understand the physiological side of emotional regulation and how to care for your body as part of caring for your emotional health.
Designed through a neurodivergent-informed lens, the workbook integrates research, reflection prompts, and practical tools to support both insight and sustainable change.
Inside the Workbook
Sensory Processing and Overload
Understand how sensory input influences emotional reactivity and energy levels. Learn strategies for identifying overstimulation and restoring sensory balance.
Hormones and Neurotransmitters
Gain a clear, accessible understanding of how body chemistry influences mood, motivation, and resilience — including the roles of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.
Sleep and Regulation
Examine how sleep patterns and circadian rhythms impact attention, emotion, and stress recovery, with reflection tools to help you build supportive routines.
Nutrition and the Nervous System
Learn about nourishment through a neurodivergent lens — how food patterns, minerals, and hydration support energy, focus, and emotional steadiness.
Movement and Mood
Explore how movement can support regulation— how movement, stretching, or sensory motion can help regulate mood and stress.
Throughout the workbook, you’ll find fillable worksheets and reflection tools designed to help you identify sensory needs, support regulation, and develop sustainable, body-aligned habits. Each activity honors the real-world barriers many neurodivergent adults face when trying to make lifestyle changes — with compassion at the center.
