Living on High Alert (S2 E9)

This week, I read a letter from a listener who’s been no contact with her mother for two years - but still feels like she’s living with her shadow.Every bark of the dog, every knock at the door, sends her body into high alert. Even something as simple as checking the mailbox feels dangerous. Myself and Dr. Ruth Callaghan will explore what it’s like when no contact doesn’t bring peace, and how our nervous system can become stuck in fight/flight  -  especially when the person we’re protecting ourselves from once felt impossible to escape.Follow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on TikTokFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on InstagramFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on YouTubewww.callaghancounselling.ieQuiz - "Are You Really Going From Zero to Ten?"Find out where you're actually starting fromBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
