I think feeling safe is even more important for women as we constantly assess our surroundings, often unaware we are doing this as it becomes second nature. I enjoyed your article, Patricia.
When I talk about this, most people are dismissive. Not feeling safe has become so socially accepted that it’s perceived as normal. I'm often labeled as hypersensitive, but I’m simply aware of the immense effort my brain makes to regulate the overwhelming stimulation from the outside world. Thank you for addressing this important topic in such a poetic way. We need more awareness of the damage overstimulation can cause.
