Reply to "Using Hypervigilance as a Defense Mechanism, Subconscious Learned Behavior with ACEs"

Barbara Ann

Your article really caught my interest. I had never considered hyper vigilance as a survival instinct but your article shed light on it for me. And it put a name to something that I have not been able to articulate.
I entered treatment for CPTSD at the age of 59. EMDR, tapping, and RE-experiencing childhood and adulthood trauma. I used to say I was on high alert 🚨 at all times. This led to long periods of exhaustion, depression and wanting to “ check out.”

I would love to speak with you if you are interested in connecting. I am now 67, launching a new career to guide women , particularly women with addiction, to release this trauma and live fulfilling lives.

i live in Canada 🇨🇦 near Toronto

until then....Katherine Breau
