How Your Affect Communicates
Your affect is the primary way your body communicates with you, ranging from a relaxed state to hyperarousal or hypoarousal. In a regulated state (5-6 range), you feel present and alert. Dysregulation occurs when affect dips below 4 or rises above 7, manifesting as hyperarousal (8-10) with panic or hypoarousal (1-3) with numbness and detachment.
