Your nervous system looked at a highway — people driving 80 miles an hour, two feet apart, while texting — and said this isn't safe. 🤍
That's not a malfunction. That's your nervous system doing its job.
Here's the question nobody is asking.
Why isn't your spouse nervous? Why aren't your kids nervous? What does it say about someone that they can barrel down a highway without a second thought and then turn to the person next to them who is quietly terrified — and laugh?
The driving thing might be worth working on if you want to. On your terms.
But the thing happening in that car between you and the people who are supposed to love you?
That's the thing I'd actually want to talk about.
Save this if you needed to hear it.
WHY FOLLOW
If this landed — follow. I'm a hypnotherapist and I work with people whose nervous systems have been shaped by the places that were supposed to be safe. Real tools. Honest conversation. Nothing here is going to tell you the problem is you.
