Your life has been hijacked. Something happened, it was scary and overwhelming – and life hasn’t been the same since. It’s now dictating your actions, routines, relationships, and mood: huge reactions to loud noises, images or smells in what ought to be safe situations. And no matter your intention, no matter how much time passes, you keep reacting, you stay hypervigilant, you look for danger everywhere. When this goes on for some time, it’s easy to become despondent, overwhelmed, and exhausted. This doesn’t feel okay – not anymore.
