Secret Keeper Worry Doll

A 3.5 inch worry doll made from cotton, recycled women's hose, sticks, and handwoven Guatemalan textiles. It comes on a 7 inch printed card.

Each tiny doll is soft and textured, small enough to hold between the fingers. Grounding-oriented profiles are characterized by a need for continuous, familiar, or consistent somatosensory information to stay aware of the physical body and the present moment (Dunn, 2001). A small textile doll best fits the preference for carrying an object and rubbing or handling it. Objects like this offer continuous somatosensory input through surface texture, geometry, and thermal properties (McGlone et al., 2014), and consistent input helps people with low registration remain physically oriented within their environment (Dunn, 2001).
