100. How You Can Help Someone Who Has a Vestibular Disorder
I’m constantly responding to questions in my Ask Me Anything (AMA) box on Instagram about this one topic—from 2 very different perspectives.
Helping someone with a vestibular disorder.
There’s the person experiencing the symptoms of the vestibular disorder. And then there’s the person who cares about the person with the vestibular disorder.
This podcast is dedicated to both of you.
This isn’t about getting someone to understand how frustrated and dizzy you feel. Or about making anyone feel bad for the way their brain and body just are.
It’s about getting people to understand how they can help when you are feeling symptomatic.
In this episode, we’ll dig into:
What you can do to support someone with a vestibular disorder
What people with vestibular disorders wish you knew
A note on asking for help
Common vestibular disorders
What is really not helpful to someone with a vestibular disorder
How hypervigilance plays into vestibular disorders
What it means that a vestibular disorder is a spectrum disorder
A big takeaway here is the unpredictability of a vestibular disorder. And the fact that every day is going to look very different.
I promise you this does get better—with the right tools. It’s not overnight, but with the right tools, consistency, trial and error, and some frustration it does get better.And there are so many things you can do to help someone who’s struggling with a vestibular disorder—no matter if it’s BPPV, PPPD, vestibular migraine, or Ménière's disease.
