Sometimes your body feels like it’s in a completely different room than everyone else.
Maybe you’re at dinner, in a meeting, or sitting on the couch and suddenly your heart is pounding, your shoulders are at your ears, and you can’t quite track the conversation. Nothing ‘bad’ is happening, but it feels like something is.
When you’ve lived through seasons where you did have to stay on high alert, your nervous system can keep carrying that job, even long after the crisis has passed. It starts to believe that staying braced is the safest option.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not broken or overreacting. Your body is trying very hard to protect you with the tools it learned.
Begin small: notice what you feel, name that you’re activated, and see if there’s one gentle thing you can offer your body. A slower breath, grounding your feet, stepping outside for a minute.
You deserve spaces where your body doesn’t have to do this alone.
If this resonates, you are not alone. We’re here when you’re ready to explore this with support.
