How early stress shapes the brain - and how safety rewires it
Many high functioning women carry a nervous system that never truly learned what consistent safety feels like. Research shows that harsh or unpredictable parenting can shape emotional regulation circuits in the brain, increasing vigilance and reactivity. What we often label as anxiety, perfectionism, or “being too sensitive” is frequently adaptation. At RYME, we work methodically to rebuild safety in the body -through repetition, regulation, and relational support- so survival wiring can soften into clarity, connection, and ease.
