Happy winter solistice!!! Wishing everyone peace and quiet (or whatever you need) on this longest night of the year and first day of winter :)
Hyperarousal is an indication that your nervous system is in a state of fight or flight. It is often a result of past traumatic experiences, and can be seen as a safety measure that your nervous system is taking to keep you safe. Some symptoms include:
-Sleeplessness
-Exaggerated startle response
-Agitation
-Racing thoughts
-Increased heart rate
If you’re experiencing hyperarousal, the best way to support yourself is to send signals to your body that you are in a safe space. You can do this by deep breathing, humming, looking at your surroundings a naming what you see, using bilateral stimulation (more on that in a later post!).
Hyperarousal can also be supported through therapy. Reach out to see if we’d be a good fit for you.
