so, sleeping with t-rex arms is a *very specific* sign your nervous system is overloaded 👇🏼

your nervous system can get stuck in a state of overload or dysregulation, especially if you have unresolved trauma or live in a state of constant stress

when your nervous system gets overloaded or dysregulated, it can become difficult to shift out of that state even when the source of stress or trauma is no longer present (even during your sleep_

sleeping with t-rex arms is a clear sign that your nervous system is overloaded

the r-rex arms are a physical manifestation of your startle reflex (you’re living in a threat state)

you subconsciously hunch into a fetal position and curl your arms into your throat as you sleep to protect yourself
do you want to heal your nervous system and stop sleeping in a state of threat?

get guided through the step by step 👇🏼

heal your nervous system 🔗 on profile 💖✌🏼💖

Yep. I scrunch so tight I climb up the wall in my sleep and wake up squished and sore and suffocating
