Feeling “too much”… or completely shut down?
It’s not a character flaw — it’s your nervous system doing its job.
🔴 Hyperarousal = too ON (fight/flight)
• reactive • tense • anxious • overwhelmed
🔵 Hypoarousal = too OFF (freeze)
• numb • disconnected • stuck • shut down
🟢 Window of Tolerance = where you feel like you again
• calm enough to think • connect • communicate
✨ The goal isn’t to never get stressed…
it’s learning how to come back.
