CPTSD - Hypervigilance
Episode description
"Hypervigilance intertwined with trauma spawns distressing challenges. Sleeplessness, ceaseless worry, and perpetual anticipation of adversity shape your existence. The ever-present sense of unease has been a constant companion, overshadowing relaxation.
Your vigilance remains unyielding, regardless of the scenario—be it grocery shopping or unwinding at home. Sudden loud sounds jolt you, swiftly triggering defensive reactions in conversations.
But why? What underpins this experience?
What you're undergoing is hypervigilance, likely stemming from past traumas and the complexities of post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD)."
