why you feel hyper vigilant or triggered after trauma…understanding the neuroscience 👇🏼
after trauma, a small almond shaped part of your brain called the amygdala becomes overactive…😮💨
your amygdala plays a central role in processing and regulating your emotions, particularly your fear & threat responses 🥹
an overactive amygdala causes you to become hyperreactive to perceived threats 😮💨
this heightened sensitivity can result in an exaggerated fear response, leading to increased anxiety, hyper vigilance, and difficulty regulating your emotions 🥹
your amygdala is also involved in the process of fear conditioning, which associates certain stimuli with fear or danger, meaning that certain places, smells, or people can trigger your fear or stress response 🙌🏼
an overactive amygdala also leads to intrusive memories, flashbacks, and emotional reactivity when encountering reminders of the traumatic event, which is why you may overreact to your triggers 🥹
this isn’t your fault! your body and your nervous system are trying to protect you for experiencing more trauma, but they’re running on overdrive 😮💨
