Sensitization leads to exaggerated bodily reactions. Have you ever noticed that small things, which would never affect you, suddenly lead to intense anxiety symptoms? This is because your nervous system has become hypersensitized. When your body reaches a stress threshold, minor triggers can cause it to react as if in a life-or-death situation. For people struggling with anxiety, this exaggerated reaction can be bewildering. However, it's a natural consequence of hyperstimulation. As you desensitize your nervous system and teach it that there is no threat, the nerves become less sensitive, and the triggers subside on their own. #anxietyrecovery #healthanxietyrecovery #anxietyrelief
