Hypervigilance and how to overcome it

Hypervigilance is a term psychologists use to refer to those among us who are locked into a state of almost continuous wariness, rumination and compulsive anxiety. By understanding more about the condition, we can take steps to mitigate its worst effects, gradually moving ourselves from hyper to more ordinary varieties of vigilance.

However, this video is about hyperarousal, which is the englobing concept that contains hypervigilance. I hope you enjoy seeing the big picture and understanding further one of the big symptoms of stress and anxiety.

This is exactly me!!! Whenever someone drops something or there is a loud noise I am so scared. And I react like if something tragic has happened 😅 actually it is quite tiring
