Spiralling isn’t a personality flaw. It isn’t “being dramatic.” It isn’t something you should have outgrown.
It is your nervous system reacting to threat, often before your mind knows what’s happening.

A complete nervous-system map
You overthink in relationships

Grounding tools that actually work for your body
You shut down when overwhelmed
A companion for the moments you lose your footing
You feel “too much” or “not enough”

If you’ve made it here, you’ve already done something courageous: you’re paying attention to what’s happening inside you.

You don’t need to be “fixed” to be worthy of love.
You don’t have to navigate your spirals alone.
This trilogy is for you—the quiet worker, the deep feeler, the one who wants to understand instead of judge.
Your nervous system is capable of safety. You are capable of change—gently, honestly, and at your own pace.
