Understand and Manage Emotional Hypervigilance So You Can Open Yourself Up to Life

Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast

Have you created an emotional shield to protect yourself from pain and disappointment? Learn to understand and manage your emotional hypervigilance so you can open yourself up to life.

Many people are governed by their emotions, reacting to worst-case scenarios and future-proofing against upset, which can lead to overthinking, hypervigilance, and a striving for perfection and control. We end up creating a prison of protection which impacts our life and relationships. In this episode, we explore why we do this and share steps to dismantle these emotional barriers for more meaningful connections.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
