Hyper Vigilance Episodes

In therapeutic settings, clinicians frequently encounter moral ambiguity, which can profoundly affect the therapeutic relationship and the client's sense of agency.

This episode explores the subconscious and unconscious patterns driving the compulsion to over-perform as a form of adaptive self-abandonment. Joining us is Albert Bramante, who works extensively with creatives and high-functioning professionals navigating identity fusion, perfectionism, and chronic people-pleasing.
