Hypervigilance

Hypervigilance


Hypervigilance is an enhanced state of sensory sensitivity accompanied by an exaggerated intensity of behaviors whose purpose is to detect threats. Hypervigilance is also accompanied by a state of increased anxiety which can cause exhaustion. Other symptoms include: abnormally increased arousal, a high responsiveness to stimuli, and a constant scanning of the environment for threats.

My client has this and it is emotionally exhausting to digest some days. I need days off....I need my own room. I need privacy so that I can regenerate myself and rest without undue influence.
