The ANCOR Method is a structured approach for managing internal sensory overload and preventing internalized meltdowns — particularly for autistic individuals and others with sensory processing challenges.
If you experience internal pressure that builds out of nowhere, burning sensations, or meltdowns that happen even when nothing external seems wrong, ANCOR was created for you.
Unlike strategies that focus mainly on avoiding external triggers, ANCOR targets what’s happening inside — the pressure buildup, burning sensations, autonomic tension, and the internal cascade of dysregulation that becomes overwhelming.
By helping your body shift into a calmer, more regulated state, ANCOR supports clearer thinking, reduced shutdowns, and greater stability in daily life.
