    Spoon Theory

    The ‘spoon theory’ is a visual metaphor to explain the amount of energy a person has throughout the day. We start the day with the same number of teaspoons. Every activity uses up a given number of spoons. For a healthy person, showering may use 1 spoon, but for a person with HSP or PLS, it may take 3 or 4 spoons. A person who runs out of spoons must rest until their spoons are replenished.
