Welcome back to Mr. and Mrs. Therapy Podcast! In this compelling episode, your hosts Tim and Ruth Olson, licensed marriage and family therapists, dive into the pervasive issue of "survival mode," a state many people unknowingly live in due to past trauma or chronic stress. Discover how survival mode manifests in daily life, leaving individuals emotionally and physically drained even with ample rest.

Tim and Ruth utilize their expertise in trauma therapy to break down the mechanics of a nervous system stuck on high alert, detailing its impact on your mental, physical, and emotional health. They illuminate common behaviors stemming from survival mode, such as chronic fatigue, persistent guilt for resting, and an inability to relax.

The episode isn't just about identifying the problem but offers transformative strategies to help listeners shift out of survival mode. From grounding techniques and the importance of intentional rest to resetting false alarms and establishing healing rituals, Tim and Ruth provide actionable advice. They emphasize the significance of teaching your nervous system new patterns of safety and the role of therapy, especially EMDR, in aiding this transformation.

Join the conversation on finding peacefulness amidst life's chaos, and learn how to reclaim your energy and mental peace one nourishing step at a time. Whether you're battling lingering childhood trauma or the pressures of adult responsibilities, this episode offers hope and practical tools to guide you back to a state of calm and control.
