Hey friends! In this solo episode, we're continuing the three-part nervous system series with a deep dive into hypervigilance — what it really is, where it comes from, and what actually helps.

If your body won't relax even when everything is fine, if you're constantly scanning for what could go wrong, or if calm moments feel harder to trust than chaotic ones, this episode explains why that happens and offers five practical, body-based strategies to slowly begin to shift it.

If you're exhausted from always being one step ahead and waiting for the next bad thing to happen, take a moment for yourself and join me on From Both Sides Of The Couch!
