Have you ever felt on such high alert mode that picked up on the tension in someone’s voice before they even spoke, or felt like your body felt electrized & tensioned… even if there was no obvious reason?

Maybe you’ve been told you're just too sensitive, or that you're overreacting. But deep down, you know something is off. Your mind never stops, your body never fully relaxes—and no matter how safe things should feel, it’s like your system just won’t ease.

So, what is hypervigilance really? And how do you know if it’s a symptom of childhood trauma… or just your highly sensitive nervous system?

And if it’s from trauma, how does it affect your relationships?

Well, today, we’ll uncover the truth about hypervigilance, why it happens, and—most importantly—the most effective ways to manage and reduce it so you can finally feel at peace in your own body.
