A clinical psychologist’s paradigm-shifting exploration of why we’re wired for danger and what we can do about it

Do you…
  • Habitually monitor other people’s moods to make sure they’re not angry or upset with you?
  • Always fear you’re somehow “in trouble” or disappointing someone?
  • Move through the world feeling inadequate, ashamed, and fearful?
  • Have a nervous system that’s always on high alert?

You may be living with hypervigilance, a state of constant anxiety about perceived threats to your physical or emotional safety. We often believe that this perpetual fear is just “who we are,” but obsessively scanning for danger is not a personality trait. It’s a trauma response we develop when we grow up in unstable environments, walking on eggshells around unpredictable caregivers. And although hypervigilance is surprisingly common, it has been largely overlooked—until now.

In this groundbreaking book, clinical psychologist Dr. Kim Sage, a highly vigilant person herself, draws on years of research and work with clients to offer real relief to people who struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fawning. You’ll learn how to recognize your unhealthy patterns, regulate your nervous system, and break free from the prison of anxiety.

Hypervigilant is the tool you need to let your true self shine and start living without fear.
