Hypervigilance

Hypervigilance is a common trauma response.

Always scanning the room? Struggling to relax? Feeling “on edge” even when things seem fine?

That’s hypervigilance—a survival response after trauma. Your nervous system is trying to protect you, even if there’s no immediate danger.

It’s not you being “too much”—it’s your body remembering and reacting.
