Living in fight or flight or a state of hypervigilance is like having your body’s alarm system stuck in the “on” position. It’s not just an emotional experience—it’s a whole-body physiological state that affects your nervous system, hormones, immune function, digestion, and even your thoughts and relationships.
We all need someone we can trust and that are there in times of need. The first step, and sometimes the hardest, is reaching out. Asking for help. There is help, there are people there that are more than willing to listen, guide, or support us when we need it.
