What is Hypersensitivity?

Sensory hypersensitivity means that sounds, lights, smells, textures, or other sensory input that most people barely notice cause you significant distress, pain, or physical symptoms. Ordinary environments — supermarkets, offices, or busy streets — can become overwhelming or painful. This is not a preference or personality trait; it is a nervous system in a state of chronic overactivation.

How to know if Hypersensitivity is chronic

• Present most days, in multiple sensory domains
• Significantly restricting where you can go and what you can do
• Worsening over time or spreading to new sensory triggers
• Accompanied by fatigue, pain, or cognitive symptoms

Hypersensitivity can be associated with the following conditions:

• • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Misophonia
  • General Anxiety Disorder
  • Limbic Cross Wiring
  • Fibromyalgia

  • Central Sensitization Syndrome

How brain training & re-origin can help

Hypervigilance is a state of heightened alertness where the nervous system is constantly scanning for threats, even in safe situations. You may feel unable to relax, startle easily, notice every sound or movement, struggle to feel safe, or constantly anticipate that something is about to go wrong. It is exhausting, isolating, and often invisible to others.
