ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, and ASMR videos have become popular online in the survivor community. These are videos simply of simple sounds that are repetitive in nature, or an unfolding in some way, or part of an experience that seemed to interact with the nervous system in a way that is very grounding or orienting, calming or comforting. It doesn't work for everyone, and it may not be your thing. And that's okay. So there's no other talking other than this introduction in this episode. And if ASMR is not your thing, you can skip the rest of this episode.
[Sounds of chickens and rustling for the remainder of the podcast episode]
