Lesson Overview

16.5 Managing Hypervigilance and Startle Responses: Hypervigilance keeps your nervous system on guard, scanning for danger even in safe environments, while startle responses make minor surprises feel like sudden threats. You learn to calm this heightened alertness by slowing down breathing, softening muscle tension, and gently shifting focus away from imagined risk toward real-world stability. You challenge the belief that constant watchfulness is required for survival and replace it with trust in your surroundings and in your own ability to handle unexpected moments. By gradually letting your guard down in safe places, you show your body that relaxation does not equal vulnerability — it equals healing. Each moment of calm becomes a declaration that trauma no longer gets to run your life.
