Welcome to our video on hypervigilance. In today's fast-paced world, many of us are constantly on the lookout for potential threats or dangers, whether it's in our environment, our relationships, or even within ourselves. But what happens when this natural instinct for vigilance becomes heightened to an extreme? That's where hypervigilance comes into play. It's a psychological state characterized by an intense and persistent scanning of the environment for potential threats or dangers. Imagine constantly feeling like you're on high alert, even in situations where there may not be any actual danger present. Hypervigilance often goes hand in hand with anxiety, as individuals experiencing hypervigilance may also struggle with constant worry and fear. This heightened state of awareness can lead to a cycle of stress and anxiety that impacts daily life. In this video, we'll delve into the intricacies of hypervigilance, exploring its causes, symptoms, and its close connection to anxiety. Whether you've experienced it yourself or know someone who has, understanding hypervigilance is key to understand and treat anxiety. So, join us as we explore the fascinating world of hypervigilance. #anxiety #hypervigilance #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #corebeliefs #youtubevideo https://lnkd.in/gEYjHX2i

Some people feel the need to be right all the time due to underlying factors like insecurity, a desire for control, or a fear of being seen as inadequate. This behavior may also stem from a need for validation, where being "right" boosts their self-esteem and sense of competence. #NeedToBeRight #Insecurity #ValidationSeekers #AlwaysRight #ControlIssues #FearOfFailure #SelfEsteemMatters #PsychologyTalk #HumanBehavior #OvercomingInsecurities

Are you hiding a toxic relationship in the name of protection? Think again. By lying about the abuse, you're sending a message that it's acceptable. Kids learn what they live, and when you tolerate unhealthy behaviors, they may come to see it as normal. When the relationship ends, they might even blame you for the chaos. But here’s the truth: true protection starts with you. Healing yourself is the first step. When they witness you setting boundaries and reclaiming your power, they learn self-worth, respect, and love. Ready to break free from toxic cycles?

Managing anxiety and stress is a crucial think nowadays.

Do you believe that Prevention is better than cure? Acting early With a small effort right now you can avoid a much larger effort and expense later. For example, a fresh coat of paint today saves you from having to replace rotten boards a couple of years from now. It’s tempting to let things slide when they’re not urgent. But doing so tends to turn simple tasks into complicated, compound problems. Plenty of issues arise that you don’t really want to face. Yet as you’ve discovered again and again, avoiding them pretty much always makes them worse. Indeed, the fact you don’t want to deal with something right now is a good argument in favor of going ahead and handling it. Acting early is a powerful way to leverage your time. It can also reduce the stress and anxiety in your life. The problems you’ve already addressed are no longer hanging over you. Act at your earliest opportunity. You’ll get more done with less effort and expense, and have more time to enjoy the beautiful existence in which you’re immersed. Good Morning. Preventing now is better than treating it later, have a preventive day 🌞
