When your symptoms shift daily and no one, not even your doctor, can give you clear answers, the hypervigilance can feel like the only rational response. But what if that constant scanning is actually making your nervous system harder to calm, and there's a way to work with it instead of against it? In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, licensed psychologist specializing in anxiety and trauma related to food allergies and mast cell conditions. She reframes nervous system regulation not as a reset button, but as a slow, trust-building process, and explains why that distinction matters more than most people realize.
