Honoring Hypervigilance
Do you find yourself bracing,
even when nothing is wrong?
Rechecking, over-preparing,
staying one step ahead—
just in case?
That’s not paranoia.
It’s a body that remembers
what it took to stay safe.
But what if you didn’t have to
stay on guard forever?
What if rest was possible, even now?
Honoring Dissociation
Dissociation isn’t failure.
It’s a pause.
A wise retreat by a system that
learned how to protect us.
If you’ve ever felt like the world was far away,
like you were moving
but not inside your body—
this is for you.
