A proposito di questo titolo

Do you ever feel stuck in survival mode — anxious, overwhelmed, or like your body and mind just won’t calm down? In this episode, Dena Ford, LMHC, PhD, joins us to explore how mental health, generational trauma, and chronic stress impact both the mind and body.

Dena shares her personal journey into mental health, how her own experiences with trauma shaped her career, and what she’s learned working with clients facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, and life transitions like menopause. We also dive into EMDR and somatic therapy, debunk myths about trauma therapy, and discuss how lifestyle changes and self-awareness can help regulate the nervous system and support long-term healing.

Whether you’re navigating your own trauma, supporting someone else, or just curious about the mind-body connection, this conversation offers practical insight and guidance for moving from stuck in survival mode to empowered, regulated living.
