When Talk Therapy Isn't Enough: Practical Ways To Create Safety And Release Survival Energy

We often think that the only way to heal is through time and/or expensive therapies. We are often stuck in fight or flight mode because that's the mode that we're most used to. That mode is familiar. But sympathetic activation (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) is not conducive to healing. In fact, there are lots of processes in our bodies that actually shut down in a survival state. So how do we shift ourselves back into a state of safety?
