Healing Hypervigilance: A Somatic Healing Experience
Details
Do you find yourself locating exists in a restaurant, scanning the room for potential threats, or rereading text messages searching for hidden meaning?
Or maybe you over-analyze conversations, think everyone is mad at you, or you get startled easily?
These are all common behaviors of hypervigilance. For many of us, hypervigilance began as a survival response from childhood trauma or anxiety.
The body learned to stay alert in order to feel safe.
In this somatic healing experience, we’ll gently explore what hypervigilance feels like in the body, start to bring awareness where hypervigilance shows up in everyday life, and allow it to soften.
What to Expect
To get the most out of this experience, it is recommended to lie down, get comfortable, use headphones or earbuds, close your eyes, and let yourself immerse in the experience.
- Gentle music to soothe the nervous system
- Somatic guided body scan and somatic inquiry
- A calm and regulating atmosphere
What You May Experience
- A shift into the parasympathetic system (rest & digest)
- A reconnection with safety in the body
- A sense of being in the present moment and self-trust
You do not need to perform, fix, or figure anything out here.
No experience necessary. Just a willingness to experience something new.
