Living on High Alert (S2 E9)
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
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.
