Hypervigilance is when the brain and nervous system stay stuck scanning for danger, even when the threat is gone.

* always needing to know where exits are
* difficulty relaxing
* being easily startled
* constantly assessing people or environments
* trouble sleeping deeply
* feeling “on” all the time
For many veterans and first responders, it was once protective.
But eventually, survival mode becomes exhausting.
