Codependency Hypervigilance

Hypervigilance is an automatic stress response reaction that is designed to keep us safe. However, when you grow up in an unpredictable home, and if you felt emotionally neglected, ignored, or chastised, you may not know you are hypervigilant even today. Listen in and allow your mind to consider what you might be able to let go of today

I grow/heal in some way every time I listen to one of these. Bless you for the work you’ve done. I know awareness isn’t usually enough to heal the wound but it can still be cathartic. 🙏🙏🙏

I can totally relate to feeling like I have to always stay in control. Having fun feels foreign. Growing up in an abusive household I have always had to be hypervigilant to try to keep myself safe.

Thank you, I could really identify with this.

Relatable. Thanks

Thank you for being so open about this. My father was the child of an alcoholic and suffered from bipolar disease. His irratic behavior had me on my toes for most of my childhood. He would come to my room in the mornings with his madness and I could not escape it. I felt powerless. I had no protection from my mother. I was fixated on his moods and behavior, on his eyes. Were they calm or wild? I could not have fun. I (50 years old) still cannot just have fun. This lecture explained so much for me. Thank you so so much! ❤️I will continue my quest to find my way back to fun
