Ever feel like your body is stuck in “alert mode” even when nothing is actually wrong? It’s not because you’re “too stressed” or doing something wrong.
When you’ve lived through chronic stress or trauma, your nervous system can stay in fight-or-flight long after the danger has passed. That can make calm feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. This experience is often referred to as nervous system dysregulation.
And no, that doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your body learned how to adapt and protect you. Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “just relax.” It’s about gently helping your nervous system learn that it’s safe again.
If this resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely in the right place.
