So, I've just started with the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol - yesterday I was taught it - next week I'll be taught ways to cheat and do parts of it alone if I'm the only one there. I've been instructed to not cheat and do anything alone yet.

So far I've been told to do stuff once a day, and that we'll do more after next week's appointment.

But what I've noticed so far is:
1. After I've brushed stuff is in fact calmer feeling like I've been told to expect.
2. My tactile sensitivity is different at least immediately after brushing today. Things feels rougher than normal.
3. After brushing certain sensations that last around will last even more than they normally do. They make me want to brush again immediately.
4. After brushing some types of light touch are more acceptable. Others are worse.
5. My boyfriend was having a hard time believing how hard he needs to press down with the brush for me. It's far harder on me than if he was making it have the same sensation on himself.
