As you know I began a second podcast a few months ago so each of my shows can have a focused perspective. This podcast, It’s not normal it’s toxic is an educational resource for you to better understand the toxic relationships in your life through the experiences I had while in mine. Fak’n Tired my other podcast was also inspired by events in my life. Managing the ups and downs, managing my emotions, as well as managing the other relationships in my life did not go as I thought it would. There was so much shrapnel, so many residual effects from the toxic relationship I had been in that I was for a time completely unaware of. Avoiding and ignoring the need for healing became so overwhelming for me I wanted to disappear. So as I write the episodes for Fak’n Tired I often wonder if it would have been different if I had known all this before it did. The bonus episodes you hear are the Fak’n Tired episodes that I believe could possibly make your journey go a little smoother than mine did. 

In this episode, Dr. Heidi explores the intricate relationship between the nervous system and our survival instincts, particularly in the context of toxic relationships. She discusses how our bodies react to perceived threats, the biological mechanisms behind these reactions, and the importance of understanding these processes to reclaim control over our emotional health. The conversation delves into the brain's response to danger, the role of boundaries, and the impact of past trauma on present behavior.

Whether you are presently in a toxic relationship or you are trying to rebuild after a toxic relationship it can feel impossible to take the steps you desire. Dr Heidi knows it can feel extreme to ask for help, at least it did for her. Because she has been where you are now, she gets it so her service offerings focus on your needs. Start by taking the Toxicity Profile Analysis for validation or the Survival Mode Assessment for understanding.
