What is Chronic Hypervigilance? 👀⚡️
Chronic hypervigilance is what happens when your body’s internal alarm system gets stuck in the on position. Even when you’re safe, your nervous system keeps scanning, bracing, and preparing for something to go wrong.
How it can feel:
✨ Always on edge
✨ Easily startled
✨ Trouble relaxing or sleeping
✨ Constant tension with no obvious reason
Why it happens:
Past stress or trauma can teach the body to stay protected. Even if the mind has moved on (or doesn’t remember), the body remembers. It keeps the guard up just in case. 🛡️
What this really means:
Your system is trying so hard to keep you safe. It’s not broken — it’s overworked. And that can feel exhausting, confusing, and lonely.

How Craniosacral Therapy Can Help 🌿👐
Craniosacral therapy uses gentle, supportive touch to help the nervous system remember how to settle again. By supporting the vagus nerve — the pathway of rest, safety, and restoration — the body can slowly shift out of “always on guard” mode and into ease.
Clients often notice:
💨 Deeper, fuller breaths
🌊 A wave of calm moving through the body
🌙 Better sleep and more regulation
🤍 More ease in everyday life
If any of this feels familiar, craniosacral therapy offers a safe, non-invasive way to support your body’s natural ability to reset. You don’t have to relive memories or find the right words — your soma already knows how to soften when it’s supported.
Sometimes the first step isn’t doing more… it’s letting your body feel safe enough to rest. ✨
