In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I explore a topic that often goes under the radar: the stress that comes with transitioning to a healthy normal. For those of us with a trauma background, unhealthy environments can become so familiar that experiencing a healthy normal actually feels stressful. I’ll explain why this happens and how we can navigate this transition.

I’ll be discussing:

• Understanding the Transition to Healthy Normal: Why it can be challenging and how to recognize this often-overlooked aspect of healing.

• Nervous System Adjustment: How our nervous system shifts from a state of hypervigilance to calm, and what that means for our mental and physical well-being.

• Recognizing Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: How these can sneak in and hinder our progress, and what we can do about it.

• Embracing the Healthy New Normal: Tips and strategies to help our nervous system adjust and thrive in a healthier state.

I’ll also share some of my personal insights and experiences to provide a deeper understanding of how we can move from chronic stress to a state of calm and safety. This episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement for anyone on the healing journey.

Join me as we explore valuable tools and perspectives on embracing a healthier, more balanced life.
