After trauma, many people feel like they never fully power down. Your body stays tense. Your mind scans for danger. Even simple moments, like a grocery run in Murray or a drive through Kaysville, can feel stressful. In this episode, we break down hypervigilance in clear terms, why it happens, and how it can quietly drain you day after day. We also talk about the most important message many survivors need to hear: nothing is “wrong” with you. Your nervous system learned to protect you. Finally, we explain how trauma-informed therapy and grounding skills can help your brain and body feel safe again, at a pace that respects your story.
