Today we're talking about chronic overactivation of the nervous system, a persistent state of activation that can cause many symptoms and lead to significant strain.

💡 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:

🔸 why chronic stress and over-arousal are a logical consequence of traumatic experiences

🔸 how the nervous system can oscillate between heightened alertness and exhaustion

🔸 why over-arousal affects the body, thoughts, feelings, and relationships

🔸 when compensatory mechanisms provide short-term relief but create new cycles in the long run

🔸 why safety, mindfulness, and social connection are crucial pathways to regulation.
