You left the grocery store and needed three minutes in the car before you could drive. That's not fragility — it's a nervous system that learned to stay switched on. Here's what's actually happening, and how therapy helps you build real regulation.

Feeling more anxious, restless, or guilty when you finally slow down? You're not doing rest wrong.
