Summary

Did you know Hypervigilance, a common symptom of trauma? It keeps the nervous system in a heightened state, making it difficult for HSPs to trust their gut feelings. Learn how to manage this exhausting emotional state and protect your mental health. We explore the pitfalls of hypervigilance & continued anger & outrage in advocacy, especially for people who are working to heal trauma & struggle to keep the body in a state of calm. To thrive as empaths we must understand how we react & take radical ownership over the state of our own mind-bodies. This year has shown me that the work of emotional boundaries & radical permission to do what's necessary to heal--even when it's unpopular--has never been more important.
