If there's enough pressure on the brush, not for me. If there's not enough pressure on the brush, then yes. It's easy to not have enough pressure around joints if you're not careful though.

Between the brushing part and the deep pressure part, even with not having that type of immediate overload response, I'm clearly at heightened alert. If something touches me wrong in that period of time it could be really quick to overload - my hair touching my skin wrong is enough to overload me then.

My hair actually needs to be brushed before I do my brushing protocol, because if its at all tangled, then the tangles touching my skin afterwards is one of the types of light touch that is more overloading after doing the protocol completely even. However, someone's hands touching me on the arm lightly or such is more acceptable than without doing it -skin on skin contact is less twitchy.
