Hmm, your tone changed as you walk into the room, I noticed. You didn't make eye contact with me the way you usually do, I noticed. You didn't send as many emojis as you usually do, I noticed. You let go of your hug quicker than you usually do, I noticed. When you start talking about that pain, your tone changed, your pitch changed, I noticed. I noticed the subtle shifts in energy, I noticed the micro expressions, the micro moments of every conversation of every room, and I know I'm not the only one that notices, because at some point we've all been praised for being sensitive, for being intuitive, but what if I was to sit you down and say maybe your hypersensitivity is hypervigilance, and maybe it's not your personality, it is literally a survival learned mechanism that helped keep you safe, because at some point in your life you needed to notice, for your safety, for your belonging, for your acceptance and love. So now in adulthood we scan rooms, we scan environments, we become the person that knows, before you do what you need, that can be the appeaser, that can be there, that can read the energy, that can keep the peace in the room, but that's not why you're here, that's not why you're here, and maybe we could create enough safety in your body, I know we can create enough safety in your body, to be able to bring you back in, so that you actually live life through your own experience, not through always noticing. So over on this adventure, I'm going to help you come back into your body and not spend your life scanning environments and being hypervigilant.
